The singer has yet to become a parent. In August 2009, Tesfaye began covertly uploading music to YouTube.
The next year, while working on a dark modern R&B project, he met Jeremy Rose. Three tracks, What You Need, Loft Music, and The Morning, were produced as a consequence of Tesfayas freestyling over one of artist Curtis Santiago’s instrumentals that Rose had played.
