PARTYNEXTDOOR

PARTYNEXTDOOR, born Jahron Anthony Brathwaite on August 3, 1993, in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer who became the first artist signed to Drake’s OVO Sound record label. Of Trinidadian descent, Brathwaite grew up immersed in Caribbean music and began writing songs and producing beats as a teenager, developing the moody, atmospheric R&B sound that would become his signature.

In 2013, PARTYNEXTDOOR burst onto the scene when Drake signed him to OVO Sound, making him the label’s first official signing. His self-titled debut EP was released on the label and immediately established him as a fresh voice in contemporary R&B. Tracks like “Make a Mil” and “Wus Good/Curious” showcased his ability to blend R&B vocals with dancehall-influenced production. He followed up with “PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO” in 2014 and “P3” in 2016, each project deepening his cult following.

While PARTYNEXTDOOR has built a strong solo career, his influence extends even further through his songwriting. He has penned some of the biggest hits of the last decade for other artists, most notably co-writing Rihanna’s massive hit “Work” featuring Drake, which spent nine weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He has also written for artists including DJ Khaled and has contributed to multiple Drake projects. His songwriting royalties represent a significant portion of his income.

As of 2026, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s net worth is estimated at $8 million. His 2020 album “PARTYMOBILE” was his most commercially successful release, debuting at number eight on the Billboard 200. His wealth comes from a combination of solo album sales, streaming revenue, publishing and songwriting royalties, touring, and his ongoing association with OVO Sound. His relatively modest release schedule compared to his peers belies the significant behind-the-scenes income he generates through songwriting.
