He has successfully blended retro Indian music into his presentation, making for a unique, electrifying, multi-cultural mash-up that sounds like no one else, yet never loses touch with the inspiration it draws from the blues.

In 2020, Kumar made major news with the world-wide launch of his album "Dilruba" on Sony Music. In 2021, Little Village released Kumar's uplifting reggae-inspired single "Zindagi" (Life). 2025 marked a milestone year for Kumar with the release of his self-produced “Little Village” album “God Bless The USA”Aki Kumar has made multiple appearances at The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, San Jose Jazz &amp; SF Jazz Festivals, and has been featured on PRI “The World,” KQED Arts and CBS Bay Area.
