It was supposed to be The Weekend but got altered to avoid copyright issue with a Canadian band of the same name. He dropped out of high school at 17 and "left one weekend and never came home" with some of his friends. Born Abel Tesfaye in Scarborough, Ontario on February 16, 1990, he grew up listening to a variety of music genres, including soul, quiet storm, hip hop, funk, indie rock, and post-punk. He rose above other fellow newcomers with his rich expertise in music. The Weeknd was dubbed the songbird of his generation.
