While a number of musicians that parted ways with Lynx Entertainment have had challenges with keeping a vibrant brand, Kuami Eugene intimates that he is looking forward to changing the narrative.
According to him, with all the knowledge he has gleaned from working with Lynx Entertainment boss, Richie Mensah, he is sure he will break the supposed 'Lynx Jinx'.
Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z, Kuami indicated that after being with Richie for the past eight years, Richie has permitted him to establish his own record label.
"I've been in the same room producing with Richie multiple times so I've learned a lot; the production skills and he knows so much about this business - this showbiz business. He's made so a lot people so I am learning that bit from him as well.
Thankfully, I'm trying to be the first Lynx artiste that will actually part ways with the label and won't have everybody saying he is lost. So I'm still under his wings and he's teaching me so much, he said."
Lynx has produced artistes such as Asem, Ziggy, the late OJ Blaq, Eazzy, Irene Logan, MzVee, among others.
Talking about his own record label Rockstar Records, even though he has future aspirations of signing on other artistes, he is currently concentrating on himself.
"The Kuami Eugene brand is a handful. Even as a single artiste, it's not been easy. So adding someone now, I don't think it's advisable. But maybe in future, I will ask Richie if he thinks I should start signing people but I don't think I will do it now. I have so much to do as Kuami Eugene, myself," he told the host Kwame Dadzie.
He noted that before he ventures into signing other artists, he would have to fill bigger auditoriums and make greater exploits.
"I should do maybe a 20,000 capacity event, I should have my own Rockstar show and this is the first time I am coming up with 'Let the Kids Come to Kuami Eugene'. I am doing all these things to cement myself in the music industry and if I get closer, I will start working with other people as well," he noted.
In the meantime, Kuami is out with an all-star peace song and two other songs: Problem and Show Down.
