The Weeknd has always dreamed big, in 2011 he released his first original mix tapes. Although he has been producing music for almost ten years, his breakthrough album Beauty Behind the Madness landed him seven Grammy nominations, including record and album of the year, alongside an Academy Award nomination for Earned It, which he sang for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. Over the past couple of years, The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, has become one of the most recognizable voices (and hairstyles) in R&B music.
