How did he begin? 

This 29 -year -old musician from Canada shows his interest in music at a very young age. With the aim of a total commitment to his career, he left the two secondary schools he had attended. He had just decided to leave school one weekend and never returned. That is the root of the stage name “The Weeknd.”

There is a record of Ethiopia seen in Abel’s music because his parents immigrated from Ethiopia to Canada in the 1980s. Many influences in his work also have legends like Prince and Michael Jackson. This is seen in the first mixture tape named “House of Balloons” released in 2011.

The Weeknd became the first artist in history to have three songs holding the top three places at the same time in the Billboard Hot R&B song chart.
