Stuart Daniel Baker, best known by his stage name, '"Unknown Hinson", is a musician, songwriter and voice actor in the Adult Swim cartoon, Squidbillies. A one-time resident of the Indian Land community, Baker's first foray into show business was 'The Wild Wild South', a Charlotte area public access program.
Danny Baker has carefully cultivated his alter ego; the Unknown Hinson character is purported to be a 400-year old hillbilly vampire (he denies all such allegations). He never breaks character in public and adamantly denies having any connection to Danny Baker. He writes his own music, performs live, and produces all of his own recordings. His music often parodies the dark elements of today's country and redneck culture.
Unknown has shared the stage with many notable rockabilly, country, and psychobilly acts such as The Reverend Horton Heat, Marty Stuart and Hank Williams III. He is an accomplished and respected performer with a strong cult following and many high profile fans, including Billy Bob Thornton and Matt Groening. He now resides in Charlotte, NC.
FUN FACT: Hank Williams III has Unknown Hinson's face tattooed on his bicep.
