Daily Style Phile: Abel Tesfaye, The Weeknd We All Look Forward To
Little Bit Of Background
- Tesfaye is from the great white north, growing up in Toronto, Ontario to Ethiopian parents.
- Prior to becoming The Weeknd, Tesfaye was part of the songwriting/production group The Noise circa 2009.
- He gets his inspiration from genres across the board, taking cues from Michael Jackson, Siouxsie & The Banshees, indie-pop duo Beach House, and October's Very Own, Drizzy Drake.
- Abel released his first single What You Need as The Weeknd in late 2010. Pitchfork soon picked up the track, assuming the artist behind the distant, ambient R&B sound was in fact a duo. What You Need was given rave reviews.
