Earlier tonight (March 15), Canadians tuned in to the annual Juno Awards, which is, more or less, the Canadian Grammys. The Weeknd, who hails from Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, was among the night's winners, taking home two Awards. 

The Weeknd first grabbed the Award for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year for "Often", which he released last summer, and he ended the night winning Artist of the Year. 

In addition to taking home two trophies, The Weeknd also graced the Juno stage by performing his latest hit, "Earned It", which appears on the soundtrack to "Fifty Shades of Gray". He is joined on stage by pianist Stephan Moccio, who co-wrote the song. Watch the performance below.
