Kuvezin was one of the founding members of the Tuvan folk ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu, and is the leader of the Tuvan folk/rock/electro/post punk band Yat-Kha. He is known for his unique, contra-bass style of Tuvan kargyraa throat singing, which he calls "kanzat kargyraa."

His voice is featured in an Apple Inc ad for iPhone 15. Even though he does not use Apple products, Apple picked him for their ad because of his unique and recognizable voice. The ad has reached over 13 million views on Youtube.

In addition to his work with Yat-Kha, Kuvezin has contributed to albums by Alisa ("Duren", 1997), Blabbermouth, Susheela Raman, Untouchables, and Värttinä. In August, 2020 Uran Bator's track 'Uran Orda' featuring Kuvezin has been released.
