He received his first promotion push by a popular music promotion website "Kanye Live" which later became "KanyeToThe.com" which was run by two college kids (known only as Gregory (AKA Alleztulle) and Andy) between 2007 and 2010. Through this he quickly gained popularity, and eventually co-hosted the websites "Welcome To The Future" mixtape series. He got his better known stage name from an FL Studio audio filter setting called "PartyNextDoor". At 18, PartyNextDoor signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell as a songwriter.[1] He was later connected to OVO Sound co-founders Oliver El-Khatib and Drake by producer Boi-1da.[1] PartyNextDoor's OVO Sound signing was announced with the release of his song "Make a Mil" on Drake's October's Very Own blog.[7] His first mixtape, PARTYNEXTDOOR, was released to the iTunes Store on July 1, 2013.[7] It entered on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart at number six with sales of 2,000 copies[8] and peaked at number 34 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for the week of July 20, 2013.[9] He performed background vocals on "Own It" and "Come Thru" from Drake's third studio album, Nothing Was the Same.[10]

The record featured singles like "Muse", "Her Way", "Sex on the Beach" and the Billboard charted "Recognize", featuring Drake. Later that year, on December 3, 2014, PartyNextDoor released the 4-track EP titled PNDColours. He also released the dates for his 2015 "PND LIVE" world tour, which included cities in North America and Europe.[13] In 2015, he produced three songs on Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late: "Legend", "Preach" and "Wednesday Night Interlude".[1]
