You probably know this.
00:01
But what you may not know are the beginnings of The Weeknd.
00:10
The Weeknd, his real name Abel Tesfai, is an artist born in Toronto
00:14
and who was raised by his mother.
00:16
At 17, he decides to leave her home to live with a friend
00:19
and at the time, he has a really unhealthy lifestyle.
00:22
He consumes all kinds of drugs, he steals to feed himself, in short.
00:25
In addition to all that, Abel feels like he has disappointed his mother
00:28
by leaving the house and becoming depressed in this way.
00:30
By doing this, he promises himself one thing,
00:32
he will never go home without becoming someone.
00:35
But he doesn't really know what to do.
00:36
The only thing he likes to do and that makes his days a little better
00:39
is making music.
00:40
And that's good because three years later,
00:42
there is another Canadian who will spot him
00:44
and this other Canadian is none other than Drake.
00:46
And that's where his life will change.
00:47
On December 12, 2010, Drake posts on his blog OVO
00:51
a sound of The Weeknd called Loft Music.
00:53
There is really no more info, there is the artist's name,
00:55
the name of the music and nothing else.
00:57
His message creates a buzz and also a mystery around The Weeknd
01:00
because everyone likes his music but no one knows who is behind it.
01:04
Two months later, a strange YouTube channel named xoxxoooxo
01:09
publishes a new sound of The Weeknd, What You Need,
01:11
followed two weeks later by another song, Wicked Games.
01:14
Now the hype around The Weeknd's music is created,
01:17
and yet no one knows who is behind it.
01:19
The Weeknd will play this anonymous and release his first mixtape,
01:22
House of the Balloons, by doing this kind of tweet
01:24
to show people how to listen to it.
01:26
And it works like crazy.
