Early Life & Education

Jahron Anthony Brathwaite, known professionally as PARTYNEXTDOOR, was born on July 3, 1993, in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

Raised in a Caribbean household by his Jamaican mother, Marlene Brathwaite, and Trinidadian father, Kenneth Brathwaite, he grew up immersed in a rich blend of cultural influences that later shaped his signature moody R&B sound.

Singing in the church choir alongside Marlene during his childhood, he developed an early passion for music within a Christian environment, often referencing prayer and faith in his personal expressions.

Attending Applewood Heights Secondary School in Mississauga, he began experimenting with beats and production but dropped out at 17 to pursue music full-time, relocating to Los Angeles.

His Caribbean heritage—Jamaican through Marlene and Trinidadian through Kenneth—remains a subtle undercurrent in his work, while details about any siblings remain private, as the family has largely stayed out of the public eye.

Career

PARTYNEXTDOOR, born Jahron Brathwaite, began his musical journey in 2007 at just 14, uploading beats to YouTube under his real name. By 2011, he had evolved into a full-fledged producer, drawing attention from Toronto’s rising music scene.

His life changed in 2013 when Drake signed him as the first artist to OVO Sound, making him the label’s leading R&B voice.

That same year, he released his self-titled debut EP, PARTYNEXTDOOR, which introduced his moody, atmospheric sound through songs like “Break from Toronto” and “Wus Good / Curious.” The project reached No. 34 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and helped define the dark, emotional “OVO Sound” aesthetic.

In 2014, he dropped PARTYNEXTDOOR Two, refining his sultry, late-night vibe with more polished production. Its standout track, “Recognize” featuring Drake, went platinum. His 2016 album, PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 (P3), delivered his biggest solo hit yet—“Come and See Me” with Drake—which topped Billboard’s R&B chart and propelled P3 to debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, confirming his global breakthrough.

Behind the mic, PARTYNEXTDOOR became one of the most influential songwriters of his generation. He co-wrote Rihanna’s chart-topping hit “Work” in 2016, contributed to Drake’s Views (earning a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year), and penned DJ Khaled’s 2017 smash “Wild Thoughts,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100. His writing credits also extend to Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, along with songs for Usher and Ne-Yo.

After a brief hiatus, he returned with Partymobile (2020), debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and featuring the platinum single “Believe It” with Rihanna. In 2024, he dropped PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, a more introspective project that opened at No. 10. His biggest commercial moment arrived in February 2025 with Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a joint album with Drake that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced the viral hit “Nokia.”

Throughout his career, PARTYNEXTDOOR has remained enigmatic and introverted, preferring to let his music do the talking. With over 10 billion global streams and a legacy that shaped modern R&B’s emotional, ambient sound, he continues to influence a new generation of artists blending vulnerability, melody, and mood into one unforgettable experience.
