Notes

Statistics: Born July 3, 1993, in Mississauga, Ontario (biographical summaries, accessed October 15, 2026) · First artist signed to OVO Sound, in 2013 (AllMusic) · PartyNextDoor 3 peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and Come and See Me was Grammy-nominated for Best R&B Song (AllMusic) · Collaborative album with Drake debuted atop the Billboard 200 in 2025 (AllMusic; biographical summaries) · Curator's Judgment: DRAFT — PartyNextDoor is the OVO sound's hidden hand — the writer in the room whose melodic fingerprints are on Work and Wild Thoughts while his own albums kept a cult's loyalty. CTL files him as a songwriter-first artist whose 2025 joint album with Drake finally matched his credits with his billing. · Photo slot: CLEARED — Wikimedia Commons File:PartyNextDoor November 2016.jpg, The Come Up Show, CC BY 2.0, verified via Commons API 2026-10-15; direct URL https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/PartyNextDoor_November_2016.jpg?utm_source=commons.wikimedia.org&utm_campaign=imageinfo&utm_content=thumbnail_unscaled; master in packet photos/.
