What The Weeknd Can Teach You About Singing — And How to Start in Glasgow
The Weeknd isn’t just a chart-topping artist — he’s one of the most distinctive vocalists in modern music. With a signature blend of smooth falsetto, emotional depth, and absolute vocal control, his sound has influenced a generation of singers.
Whether you’re drawn to R&B, pop, soul, or something in between, you can train your voice to reflect the same versatility and power — and you don’t need a record deal to do it. You just need a starting point.

Why The Weeknd’s Voice Is a Modern Masterclass

Smooth falsetto transitions
Exceptional breath support
Clear phrasing and stylistic precision
Ability to shift between genres without losing identity
These are skills you can absolutely learn in one-to-one singing lessons — and they apply no matter what kind of music you love.
