ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Weeknd

The Weeknd is the recording name of Canadian singer and songwriter Abel Tesfaye, who grew up in Toronto's Scarborough district. House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence introduced his dark R&B approach in 2011 before their material was gathered for Trilogy. Kiss Land began his studio-album sequence, followed by the wider pop reach of Beauty Behind the Madness and Starboy.
