Kuzmin toured USA under the direction of American promoter Scott Pedersen / JazzConcerts.com in 1989 with Dinamik.[1] American singer-songwriter Michael Bolton said: «Vladimir Kuzmin is a super-talented musician, I’ve ever known in my life. By the way, we've hanged out down in Moscow in 1988 and I wrote a beautiful song together. Actually, I send a letter to him, but I had no answer. He’s my Russian brother. Let him know.»[2]
