Jahron Anthony Brathwaite (born July 3, 1993), known professionally as PartyNextDoor, is a Grammy-nominated Canadian 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. PartyNextDoor released his debut self-titled extended play in July that year to positive critical reception.
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).
Outside of recording, PartyNextDoor 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. PartyNextDoor has also contributed to releases by Kanye West, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Post Malone, City Girls, Ne-Yo, Justine Skye, and Jay Park, among others.

PartyNextDoor earned his first number-one song as a songwriter when on January 27, 2016, Rihanna released the lead single "Work" from her eighth studio album, Anti. The song maintained its spot at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks. He also penned the song "Sex with Me" on the same album. On March 25, 2016, PartyNextDoor released "Come and See Me", which features fellow artist Drake, from his upcoming second studio album, PartyNextDoor 3 (also known as P3). A music video directed by affiliate and collaborator Adrian Martinez and featuring appearances by Kylie Jenner, Big Sean, and Jhené Aiko was released on Snapchat on June 23, 2016.

He and Jeremih toured in 2016 and had plans to release a joint project.
On June 4, 2017, PartyNextDoor released Colours 2 without any prior announcement.

On September 29, 2017, he released an EP titled Seven Days, which included guest appearances from Halsey and Rick Ross.
After a lead artist hiatus PartyNextDoor returned in December 2019 with two singles "The News" and "Loyal", with the latter featuring Drake. They served as the lead singles of his album Partymobile which he tweeted would be released in February. The album was eventually released on March 27, 2020, following delays.
On October 15, 2020, Party surprise-announced the release of Partypack, a seven-song EP containing previously unreleased songs like the 2014 song "Persian Rugs". The EP was released the following day.
On January 29, 2021, Party released his 2014 EP, Colours, to streaming services for the first time. It includes four extra tracks that were previously released as Colours 2 in 2017.
On July 7, 2023, Party released the standalone single "Resentment".
On April 26, 2024 Party released the long anticipated "PartyNextDoor 4".
During PartyNextDoor’s concert in Toronto in August 2024, Drake announced an upcoming album with PartyNextDoor, stating, “On behalf of me and Party, we’ve been working on something for y’all. So, you get the summer over with, you do what you need to do. I know all you girls are outside. When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.” Shortly after the release of PARTYNEXTDOOR IV, PartyNextDoor announced that he would be releasing a single titled “Gonna Be Sad” for his upcoming fifth album How I Feel When You Leave Me (TBA).
