The Weeknd
Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990, Toronto, Ontario Canada), commonly referred to as The Weeknd, is a rhythm and blues singer-songwriter who is well known for his high falsettos and tremolos.

Prior to his musical career, The Weeknd dropped out of high school and began living on the streets of downtown Toronto where he began writing songs about his personal experiences revolving around sex, drugs and alienation. However, his career did not take off until late 2010 when he began anonymously posting songs on YouTube which were soon shared on the famous rappers Drake s blog.
