Anwar Hadid graces the cover of Issue 01 of ICON MENA

At 24, the model and musician has found his true self in the community around him.

“I had to craft and sharpen myself. I had to show them a version of myself that I could be proud of. I don’t just do this to walk around and say I make music, you know? I do it because it’s a need for me. And I couldn’t show them that until I knew I could be proud of what I was showing them.”
