About

The Weeknd is the stage name of Abel Tesfaye, a Canadian R&B and pop artist born in Toronto to Ethiopian immigrant parents. He broke through anonymously in 2011 with the mixtape trilogy House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, and reached global superstardom with the 2015 album Beauty Behind the Madness. His 2020 single "Blinding Lights" became the longest-running top-ten hit in Billboard Hot 100 history and was named the chart's all-time number-one song. He has hinted that Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), his sixth studio album, may be his final release under The Weeknd name.
