Steve Quamz, widely recognized as the lookalike of popular Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene, has opened up about the benefits and challenges of his unique career in the lookalike enterprise.
Known to many as ‘Rockstar Junior,’ Quamz has gained significant recognition and opportunities by mimicking the famous singer.
In an interview on Property FM in Cape Coast, Quamz expressed his gratitude for the opportunities the lookalike business has brought him.
“As for the look-alike thing, if I should stand anywhere and say that it brought no benefits to me, then I would be telling lies because it has done a lot for me,” he stated.
Quamz acknowledged Kuami Eugene’s support and generosity in allowing him to use his name and image.
“I would like to extend profound gratitude to Kuami Eugene because not everyone will allow you to claim to be his lookalike and use his name like the way I did. The benefits from the lookalike enterprise have been enormous, and now when I’m outside, people recognize me through the lookalike, and they used to call me Rockstar Junior.”
Through his role as a lookalike, Quamz has managed to build his own identity and brand.
“I’ve been able to create my own identity as Steve Quamz through the lookalike, and most people know me as Kuami Eugene’s lookalike, so we can’t stop doing it,” he claimed.
However, Quamz also highlighted the financial challenges that come with maintaining the appearance of a well-known celebrity.
“Kuami Eugene is rich and wears quality clothes, so I can’t compare myself to him, but I do mine in such a way that it would look just like him though I can’t compete,” he explained.
“You know I’m not financially sound, so as for me, I buy the clothes from Kantamanto, but it’ll make me look just like Kuami Eugene nicely” Quamz added.
