Eugene hails from Memphis, Tennessee where he spent his formative years listening to a multitude of musical genres spanning R&B, country, pop and rock. Although he sang in a traveling a capella group while in high school, he didn’t discover his interest in instruments until much later in life. As an adult, he began learning to play the guitar and years later, realized he could play guitar chords on the piano. Since then, he has continued his learning by experimenting with different playing styles by ear, as he does not read music. Often on the road, you may find Eugene fighting jet lag in piano bars from Paris to New York City.
