Uku Kuut - that's me... on most instruments and vocals. I do love to work with talented vocalists and instrumentalists - hey are any of you out there??
Some comments on the tunes of this page:
Sexy- sorry for the bootleg remix. I really really respect Shanice. I saw her performing as she was 14 and have enjoied her talent ever since.
Vision of Estonia - A track Maryn and I wrote in the 80's and it has become one of our most popular instrumentals ever since. It is featured on my Santa Monica album.
Joy - featuring the wonderfully talented Sofia Rubina, this song was made famous in the late 80's by Teddy Pendegrass and I have been thinking of covering it for years. Now it seems to have come to reality. This song will be featured on my new album.
Main Funk - featuring Funks' grand ol' Lady Maryn E Coote,
You ft. Virgo Veldi - This is a crazy remake of Maryns and my song You with very sexy sax leads by Estonias top saxist Virgo Veldi
Affinity - a track from my 2006 CD- Santa Monica (avaliable on all digital channels). This shows the soft-jazz side of me.
Love Changes - a wonderful song by the Mothers Finest. This time Sofia Rubina sings it on our new project. I think this song has yet many lives to live.

Sounds Like
A bit American old-school. I have two loves: the soft jazz and soul-funk. So there I float between those styles in various projects. Lately I have also done some club-stuff, broken beats etc. Check out my label page.

I was born in the Soviet Union, raised in Sweden and Santa Monica California, working and living for the last 20 years in Estonia (Europe). I have produced a number of Swedish and American artists mainly in R&B and soft-jazz category.
I am happy to collaborate with talented funky acts overseas - we do have the internet. Also, wouldn't mind pepping up some burnt out true superstars of the funk or RnB from the years gone by. I might give you a hit or two;)
