Eugy started writing and recording music at around age 14, having moved to the UK from Ghana eight years prior. He originally started as a grime MC although stopped making grime, citing that he 'wasn't good enough, moving more towards afrobeat after being inspired by highlife musicians he grew up listening to such as the likes of Daddy Lumba and Kojo Antwi.

His career took off after Nigerian artist Davido reached out to him after seeing a freestyle video he posted online. This resulted in a collaboration and the release of Eugy's debut single 'Chance' in 2015. However, his profile increased drastically following the international success of the 2016 single "Dance For Me" with Mr. Eazi which is considered by some to be 'UK Afrobeats' first bonafide smash'.

He followed this with the release of 'L.O.V.E' alongside Ghanaian artist King Promise and his most recent single 'LoLo' released in March 2019.
