Amit Kumar (born 3 July 1952) is an Indian film playback singer, actor, director, and music director. He is the son of the legendary Indian singer and actor Kishore Kumar and the Bengali singer and actress Ruma Guha Thakurta. Like his father, Amit loved singing and from childhood used to sing during Durga Pooja functions in Kolkata. Once when he was performing on stage in a Durga Pooja function arranged by Bengali actor Uttam Kumar, people kept requesting more songs and this information reached his mother. She complained to Kishore Kumar that his son was singing "filmy" songs. Hearing this Kishore Kumar decided to bring him to Bombay.
Before this, Kishore Kumar had cast Amit as his son in two critically acclaimed films that he produced himself, Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein (the well known song "Aa chalke tujhe, mein leke chaloon" was filmed with Kishore Kumar singing to his eleven-year-old son) and Door Ka Raahi (with Amit as a teenager).
He has sung many popular Bollywood and regional film songs since the 1970s and was more actively singing in Indian films from 1970-1994 as after death of R.D.Burman in 1994, citing lack of good quality music being composed, he withdrew from playback singing and concentrated on live orchestra shows. Apart from Hindi songs, he sang several songs in Bangla, Bhojpuri, Odia, Assamese, Marathi, Konkani. He has the original voice of Kishore without having any nasal touch to his voice like other Kishore clones but as he withdrew himself from film industry after 1994, he has been under-utilised by music directors, in-spite of him having extremely good voice.

Amit Kumar made his debut as a child singing and acting in his father's movie Door Ka Raahi. He recorded the song "Main ik panchi matwaala re", which was later removed from the film.

Early 1990s to mid-1990s
In 1990 the film Hum and the song "Sanam mere sanam" brought another big hit for Amit. Baaghi: A Rebel for Love had a smash hit in the song "Kaisa lagta hai". From the film Ghayal the song "Pyaar tum mujhase" was popular.
