Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known professionally as the Weeknd, is a Canadian singer-songwriter, actor and record producer.

Known for his sonic versatility and dark lyricism, his music explores escapism, romance, and melancholia, and is often inspired by personal experiences.

During a 2013 Reddit AMA, the singer revealed that he “hated” his given name and, in his late teens, decided to use the moniker “The Weekend,” instead, because it “sounded cool.”

There was one problem, however: a Canadian rock band already existed, so he removed the “e” to avoid copyright issues.

According to music producer Jeremy Rose, however, he and his fellow musician used “The Weekend” as a collective name, but his former collaborator dropped the “e” after a falling out in 2010.
