At only 21 years old, The Weeknd released a debut mixtape called “House of Balloons” in March 2011, introducing his signature dark, nocturnal R&B sound. Recorded during a turbulent chapter of his life in Toronto, the House of Balloons mixtape was actually inspired by the real Spencer Avenue house in Parkdale, where he lived with his friends and had a party lifestyle fueled by alcohol, drugs, and raw emotion.
