In the late 1990s, he began a solo career and published his first solo studio album, Euge Groove (2000) for Warner Bros. Records.

In 2007, Groove reached the commercial peak publishing Born 2 Groove. It reached number one on the Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and spawned four smooth jazz hits, including his first two number-one singles: "Born 2 Groove" and "Religify". After this success, Groove left Narada Jazz for Shanachie Entertainment, where he continued to release successful albums and promo singles for the contemporary jazz audience.
