Jahron Anthony Brathwaite (born July 3, 1993), better known under the stage name PartyNextDoor (often stylized as PARTYNEXTDOOR), is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer from Mississauga, Ontario, who is signed to Drake's OVO Sound record label. He released his first extended play on July 1, 2013, under OVO Sound.[2][3][4]

History

PartyNextDoor began making electronic dance music-infused R&B under his real name Jahron Brathwaite (Jahron B). PartyNextDoor's OVO Sound signing was announced with the unassuming song release of "Make a Mil" on Drake's October's Very Own blog.[5] His first mixtape, PartyNextDoor, was released to the iTunes Store on July 1, 2013.[5] It entered on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart at number six with sales of 2,000 copies[6] and peaked at number 34 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for the week ending July 20.[7] He performed background vocals on "Own It" and "Come Thru" from Drake's third studio album, Nothing Was the Same. On August 26, 2013, "Over Here", featuring Drake, impacted urban contemporary radio as PartyNextDoor's debut single.[8] The single peaked at number 47 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.[9] PartyNextDoor is rumoured to be in a relationship with Ellie Allen, due to being seen together in Toronto. However, Drake claims he is with Ellie.

In October 2013, he began touring with Drake, Future and Miguel on the "Would You like a Tour?" concert tour.[10] His second project, PartyNextDoor Two, was released on July 29, 2014.[11] On December 3, 2014, PartyNextDoor released the 4 track EP PNDCOLOURS. He also released the dates for his "PND LIVE" world tour, which includes cities in North America and Europe.[12]
