Jahron Anthony Brathwaite (born July 3, 1993),[1] known professionally as PartyNextDoor (stylized in all caps), is a Canadian R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer. He was the first artist to sign with Drake's record label OVO Sound, an imprint of Warner Records in 2013.[2] Brathwaite released his debut self-titled extended play in July that year to positive critical reception.[3][4][5]

His debut studio album, PartyNextDoor Two (2014) was released the following year and supported by the single "Recognize" (featuring Drake), which received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second album, PartyNextDoor 3 (2016) saw further success and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, while spawning his first Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 100 entries with its singles "Come and See Me" (featuring Drake) and "Not Nice". His third album, Partymobile (2020) was met with similar commercial success and supported by his highest-charting singles on both charts: "Loyal" (featuring Drake) and "Believe It" (with Rihanna).[6]

Outside of recording, Brathwaite has been prolific in production and songwriting for other artists. He has been credited on Rihanna's 2016 single "Work" and DJ Khaled's 2017 single "Wild Thoughts", which peaked at numbers one and two on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Brathwaite has also contributed to releases by Kanye West, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Post Malone, City Girls, Ne-Yo, Justine Skye, and Jay Park, among others.[7][2][8]
