Uku Kuut is an Estonian-born musician and producer whose work is characterized by a smooth blend of funk, soul, and electronic music, with a distinctive 1980s touch. Born into a family with strong musical roots—his mother is noted Estonian singer Marju Kuut—Uku developed a keen ear for music from an early age. After moving to the United States, specifically to Santa Monica, California, in his youth, he became immersed in the vibrant West Coast music scene, which would come to influence his style and artistic output.

With an array of releases that showcase a penchant for synths and a laid-back groove, Uku Kuut is known for his contributions to the funk and electronic genres. Albums like "Vision Of Estonia" and "Grand Hotel" encapsulate his ability to blend nostalgic sounds with modern sensibilities. The compilation "London: 38 Demos from the 80's…" serves as a treasure trove for enthusiasts of that era's underground music, providing a window into his developmental years as an artist. Despite the retro vibe of his music, Uku Kuut’s work remains fresh and continues to garner attention from new audiences, bridging the gap between past and present. His collaborations, such as “Don't Say Goodbye” featuring Vaiko Eplik, further exhibit his versatility and prowess in crafting timeless music.
