[1] While working at a convenience store in Tel Aviv, Kutiel discovered a college radio station that was playing genres of music that were vastly different from the classical jazz he was accustomed to.

Following this experience, Kutiman met Sabbo, another Israeli artist, who introduced him to Afrobeat and funk music, including the sounds of James Brown and Fela Kuti, among many others.

As Kutiel's taste for music deviated from his traditional training, in 2003, Kutiman embarked on a journey to Jamaica, where he researched reggae and worked with Stephen and Damien Marley.

It featured nine producers, representing different genres and countries: Garden City Movement, Mixmonster & Kalbata, Jim Dunloop & Grzly Adams, Rejoicer, Free The Robots, Red Axes, Tomgi, La Dame Noir and Copia Doble Systema.

After disclosing his work to only 20 friends, Kutiman's project spread virally across the web, racking up more than one million views in less than a week.

"[19] Kutiman did not often travel to promote his project but on 19 June 2009, he visited Wrocław, Poland, responding to an invitation from an online radio station.

A quest to capture Thru You Too's profound impact led to an original collaboration with A-list international producers who each give their own personal interpretation of the Thru You Too tracks.

The international producers each represent a different country and musical style, such as hip hop, big beat, house, dub, and electropop.

The "My Favorite Color" project blends together a deeper, jazz-oriented sound that earned positive reviews from outlets such as Wired,[27] CBS News,[28] and TechCrunch.

"My Favorite Color" features many different clips, including an organ-playing mother, a young vocalist singing in her London bedroom, and an Omaha-based saxophonist performing a free improvisation.

[30] Using unrelated YouTube videos of various musicians performing "Black Dog", Kutiman mixed the clips together to create an innovative cover version.

Kutiman's tribute to Led Zeppelin was screened at Flatpack Film Festival as part of the "Home of Metal" celebrations.

Although some of the video sequences were harvested from YouTube, they mostly originate from a traditional media source, official TV stations, a new element in Kutiman's work.

Kutiman generally refrains from making overtly political statements and speculations were raised regarding the title of the piece; discussions asked if "This is Real Democracy" was a reference to Mubarak, Netanyahu, Cameron and Sarkozy; or if it was in reference to the unleashed power of the people as they marched, protested, revolted or rioted.

[citation needed] Kutiman released Off Grid on February 11, 2016, as an online album consisting of 96 unrelated YouTube clips.

In July 2011, the song won First Prize in the global Call for Music Videos of Palestinian-Jewish Duos or Groups presented by the Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue.

In 2012 Kutiman was invited by the Jewish Culture Festival to Kraków, Poland and created second clip in his Thru series – Thru Krakow, featuring many festival artists, including: Frank London, David Krakauer, Uri Caine, Paul Shapiro, Cantor Benzion Miller, Raphael Roginski, Mikołaj Trzaska, DJ Funklore (Tomasz Jurecki) and the Alaev Family.
