Risto is a multifaceted Finnish musician and artist whose work transcends easy categorization. At the heart of his music is a unique blend of indie rock, off-kilter pop, and poetic Finnish lyricism. His eponymous album "Risto" began a journey into a distinctive sound landscape that has been both peculiar and enthralling. Over the years, releases like "176-671 (Ensimmäiset askeleet)" and "Sähköhäiriöön" have solidified Risto's place in the Finnish alternative music scene, with his style often characterized by quirky electronic elements and an endearing embrace of idiosyncrasy.

Aside from his studio albums, Risto is known for his electric live performances, captured in albums such as "Ylimääräiset! (Live)" and "Live!", which showcase the energy and dynamism of his shows. His versatility and wit are evident in works like "The Second Coming of Mr. Jesus H. Christ" and "Gotta Build a Railroad, Gotta Build a Train", where Risto's flair for melding the cerebral with the whimsical shines through. With titles like "Aurinko aurinko plaa plaa plaa" and "Hessu kostaa ja muita hiiritarinoita", Risto's music often reflects a storytelling approach, albeit with a surreal and satirical edge. "Tiedän millainen on ihminen" continues this thread, furthering Risto's reputation as an artist who insightfully, yet playfully, explores the human condition through his music.
