Artists & Icons
Brixton born, Aaron Unknown has been signed with Select Model Management since 2013. Starting his career as a model, Unknown has walked the runways of top designers such as, Hermès, Dolce & Gabanna, Giorgio Armani and Versace. Unknown cites his casting in the Dior Homme FW14 Campaign, which was shot by the late Karl Lagerfeld, as the true catalyst of his success in the fashion industry.
As well as his tremendous success as a model, Unknown is also making a name for himself on the music scene. Following an introduction with the late Jamal Edwards, a British music entrepreneur and DJ, Unknown was afforded the opportunity to create a freestyle rap video for SBTV’s Warm Up Sessions. This video quickly gained traction and currently has over 3.4 million views.

Off the back of this success, Unknown decided to found his own record label in efforts to further increase his reach as an artist, whilst maintaining full creative control. The label, “U.N.K.N.O.W.N” is an acronym for Under New Knowledge Now Overcoming World Negativity. This acronym reflects the mission of Unknown’s label, which believes in using music to spread a positive message and to support other younger artists from underprivileged backgrounds.
Unknown’s career continues to flourish, having sold out 2 venues in his home town of Brixton, Hootananny and Omeara.
