Eugene was best known as the leader of the alternative rock band Adam Again, a member of the Swirling Eddies (credited as Prickly Disco), and as a founding member of the supergroup Lost Dogs.
Prior to his music career, Eugene was a child actor. On top of his own musical projects, Eugene was a record producer producing albums for other contemporary Christian artists ranging from Crystal Lewis to the Prayer Chain to Starflyer 59.
