Jahron Anthony Brathwaite (born July 3, 1993), known professionally as PartyNextDoor (stylized in all caps), is a Canadian R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer. He was the first artist signed to Drake's OVO Sound record label in 2013 in a joint-venture with Warner Records. Braithwaite released his debut self-titled extended play in July that year to positive reception.
His debut studio album, PartyNextDoor Two (2014) was released the following year, supported by the double platinum-certified single "Recognize" (featuring Drake). His second album, PartyNextDoor 3 (2016) reached further success as it peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, also 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 success, and was preceded by his highest-charting singles on both charts: "Loyal" (featuring Drake) and "Believe It" (with Rihanna).
Outside of recording, Braithwaite has also been prolific as a producer and songwriter for other artists. He's been credited on Rihanna's 2016 single "Work" and DJ Khaled's 2017 single "Wild Thoughts", which peaked at number one and number two respectively on the Billboard Hot 100.
