Aki Kumar Looks Back On Early Inspiration
. He tells the LA Times: "Shortly after I moved out to the US, out of sheer boredom, I randomly tuned into a couple of oldies radio stations and found that I really enjoyed them. "I fell in love with everything I heard - rock'n'roll, blues, doo wop, basically everything from that era. That really did it. Once I delved a bit deeper, it was obvious that I had to explore Chicago and Delta blues to get to the source of this music." Living in San Francisco and working as a software engineer, Kumar kept chasing his musical dream. He adds: "Around the same time, I found a very cool, underground blues scene in the Bay Area that featured some world-class musicians, especially blues harmonica players. Guys like Gary Smith, Mark Hummel, Andy Santana, Rick Estrin and David Barrett, who was my teacher for many years." Read more here. The Blues Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
