Jahron Anthony Brathwaite (born July 3, 1993), better known by the stage name PartyNextDoor (stylized as PARTYNEXTDOOR) and PND, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer.
PartyNextDoor was the first artist signed to Drake's OVO Sound record label in 2013 and later that year released his first EP self-titled PartyNextDoor. He subsequently released PartyNextDoor Two and PNDColours in 2014 and PartyNextDoor 3 in 2016. PartyNextDoor has collaborated with a number of artists, including Drake, Big Sean and Jeremih. PartyNextDoor has also seen success as a songwriter, having penned "Work", which was released on Rihanna's album Anti, and peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100.
PartyNextDoor was born to a Jamaican mother and a Trinidadian father in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. He began making electronic-infused R&B under his real name Jahron Brathwaite (Jahron B). He received his first promotion push by a popular music promotion website "BrandNewHipHopRnB" which later became "TheFutureOfRnB.com" which was ran by two college kids (known only as Gregory (AKA Alleztulle) and Andy) between 2007 and 2010. Through this he quickly gained popularity, and eventually co-hosted the websites "Welcome To The Future" mixtape series. He got his better known stage name from an FL Studio audio filter setting called "PartyNextDoor". At 18, PartyNextDoor signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell as a songwriter. He was later connected to OVO Sound co-founders Oliver El-Khatib and Drake by producer Boi-1da. PartyNextDoor's OVO Sound signing was announced with the release of his song "Make a Mil" on Drake's October's Very Own blog. His first mixtape, PARTYNEXTDOOR, was released to the iTunes Store on July 1, 2013. It entered on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart at number six with sales of 2,000 copies and peaked at number 34 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for the week of July 20, 2013. He performed background vocals on "Own It" and "Come Thru" from Drake's third studio album, Nothing Was the Same.
