WHAT IT IS: 22-year-old U.K. model-turned-hip-hop prospect Jnr Choi is making waves with the viral smash “TO THE MOON.” The drill track, which samples Bruno Mars’ “Talking to the Moon,” exploded on TikTok and has since topped Spotify’s Viral chart while recently appearing on Today’s Top Hits. Choi’s unique sense of style—influenced by Michael Jackson, Giggs and Kanye West—and smoky voice set him apart from his musical peers. Before dedicating himself to music, Choi appeared in campaigns for Topman and Zara and walked for big names like Givenchy, Philipp Plein and AMIRI.
