Nigerian born UK-based Producer and songwriter Melvitto has been a force to be reckoned with in the music industry since the release of his debut EP in 2017 ‘Soon.’ The project featured some Afropop heavyweights such as Wande Coal and Gabzy, and garnered the producer attention from all across the UK and the African continent. In 2019, he shared his sophomore EP ‘TheNightIsYoung’ which pushed the envelope further and showcased his rapid-fire skills, alongside a feature from the Nigerian pop superstar, Oxlade.

While Melvitto has spent the past few years forming a musical bond with Gabzy, the pair first collaborated together in 2019 on a shimmering body of work titled ‘Summers,’ for his latest project, Melvitto lines up a talented spate of performers including Fresh Meat (now known as uNder) alum, Oladapo to Dayor, WANI and of course, Gabzy.

‘Ovrdose.’ explores many different sounds and affirms extremely solid production. On the EP’s opener “Drifting Thru” featuring Dayor, the artist speaks to his love interest about getting through difficult times with her by his side, over the bouncy piano chords of the record.  . 

The producer works the piano chords and log drums of Amapiano into the breezy lilt of his accomplished style, creating songs that sound refreshingly new and solidify Melvitto as a considerable talent. With Melvitto, it’s much more than creating bangers, he’s much more meticulous about his craft and gives each new release an element of the unexpected.
