Mike Kuzmanovski is a self-taught musician and producer living abroad in a diplomatic capacity. Currently helping out in Facilities Management at the US Embassy in Lusaka, I was also the Diplomatic Pouch and Mailroom Supervisor in Pretoria, South Africa between 2018 and 2020.
He was based in Ann Arbor from 2000-2009, where he was active in the local music scene and eventually got signed to Ghostly International. Later, his wife got a job with the Peace Corps Suriname, from there he was off to Paramaribo, Guatemala, then over to Falls Church, VA. He's worked full time for the US Department of State for 7 years, while continuing to release music under the moniker KUZBEATS.
This interview was conducted entirely by Chad Stocker, who's been friends with Kuzmanovski for years.
