Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, also known to the rest of the world as The Weeknd, is a Canadian songwriter, producer, and singer who’s made a big name for himself through hits such as “Blinding Lights” and “Starboy.”
Here’s how he became such a successful pop singer:
He’s original
Critics often define The Weeknd’s style as “Rhythm and Blues contemporary.” With somber, tragic, and sad songs, his lyrics are also sometimes difficult for the average person to understand. However, his fans are not to be deterred, and Millennials love his creative complexity.
The artist started out his career by uploading covers and songs on YouTube until they got discovered by a producer who offered him a way into the commercial side of music. This led him to become the superstar that he is today. Currently, the singer has his very own record label called XO.
A mysterious personality
Abel started uploading songs under the name ‘The Weeknd’ in order to maintain a sense of anonymity while living a normal life. When he became famous, the nickname became his official title as an artist. Many people wanted to know who the person behind this unique name and amazing music really was, but the artist maintained a low profile for many years, despite having dated celebrity artist and pop princess Selena Gomez.
His number one single
Over the next few years, The Weeknd released multiple hit songs and became the first male artist to hold all three top spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart at once. He even performed at many major music festivals, like Lollapalooza and Coachella.
His major break into the Top 40 radio was through his hit song, “Starboy.” This magical track from his third studio album of the same name made the artist one of the most popular stars that summer. He has continued to stay under the spotlight ever since through his hypnotizing music.
