Born in Florida, raised in Arizona and Maine, Nathan Lapointe aka Unique Unknown found his creative roots in Van Buren, Maine. Starting out playing drums to classic rock music, his love of wordplay inevitably guided him towards hip-hop and theater, both of which he has embraced through his time spent at USM and beyond. With a strong compass for the conscious, Unique Unknown has sought to ease his own chronic pain through art, powerful bonds and personal expression.
UNIQUE UNKNOWN AND FRIENDS
Unique Unknown and Friends is an interactive music and art event. The act includes Unique Unknown (live vocal looping and freestyling) and Bagels (live percussion). Think Reggie Watts or Mark Rebillet meets Whose Line is it Anyway. Audience members are asked to submit topic suggestions on notecards at the beginning of the show and are welcomed to participate during the performance as well. All music and art is created fresh and on the spot for an entirely one-of-a-kind experience every time!
