To say that you have been known by another person or a group of people means that you have already been observed or recognized as a distinguished person in some particular field.
Explanation
The expression “I was known” indicates that you have been observed or noticed by other people in some particular field. A person may be known for being a good person, for example. Or, you can be known for being a good student or for being a hard worker.
To know somebody in some particular field means that you have already been noticed or observed by the other person. It can also mean that the other person has already been aware of your ability in that field. When you are known in one particular field, it does not necessarily mean that you are known as a distinguished person.
You might not be known as a distinguished person because you have not yet achieved success in that particular field. But, when you become known as a distinguished person in some particular field, it does not necessarily mean that you have already been known or recognized as such by others.
