The band’s résumé includes work connected to Jon Batiste, The Weeknd, and SZA, placing them in a wider network that moves between contemporary R&B, pop, and guitar-driven forms.

The Weeknd is the stage name of Abel Tesfaye, a Canadian singer-songwriter, producer, and actor whose work sits between pop and alternative R&B, with a rock-leaning edge in live settings. His catalog is built around a high tenor and frequent falsetto, framed by noir-tinged storytelling and carefully constructed visual worlds.
