Risto Kütt was born in Rakvere, Estonia. March 10, 1993 is his date of arrival. He's been into animation and all the art stuff since very early age, cause his Sun is in Pisces and Jupiter in Libra + there's a Sextile between his Sun and a Neptune, which marks his appreciation for music and the arts. Produced his first animation in the late 2007 and kept making shorts and fairy stupid animations on YouTube. In 2012 he graduated Väike-Maarja Gymnasium and decided to go study Animation at the Estonian Academy of Arts, under the hand of legendary Priit Pärn + (Bunch of other smaller legends). Films made during his studies were "Boogers" (2014) and "Siga jääb seaks/Pig remains pig" (2015) which was in collaboration with Kelli Kustavus. After getting his BA in Animation, he ventured on to England, to do his MA (Animation) in Farnham at the University for the Creative Arts. A film called "Porgandia" was born in 2016. After becoming a Master of Arts with Distinction in Animation, he came to the Crossroads, just to sell his soul to the Devil and produce 3 films in the time frame of 2017-2019.
After living & working in Vancouver, Canada from 2019-2020, Risto came back to Estonia, to design his first Tarot Deck called "Para de Aur"(Golden Pear in English) & Produced another Short Film called "Bananas for Ice Cream" in 2022, which was voiced by the magical Isabel Silla.
Now he's just kicking it as a freelance artist.
