The Weeknd burst on the music scene like a storm when he uploaded three songs on YouTube in 2010. In the following year, he released nine-track mixtapes and fans began to flock to this new phenomenon calling himself the Weeknd.
Throughout his career, The Weeknd released three studio albums and has won two Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, eight Billboard Music Awards, and nine Juno Awards and has been nominated for one Academy Award.
His main musical inspirations are Michael Jackson, Prince, R. Kelly, 50 cent and Eminem. His songs express feelings of hurt and deal with subjects matter such as sex, drugs and partying featuring slow tempos, rumbling bass and forlorn echoes. Incorporating indie and electronic styles, he is broadening the R&B music palette.
Tickets for The Weeknd’s summer shows can be purchased here.
