London-raised, LA-based producer and songwriter KTmelodies releases his breakout single, 'Pack Up Ya Bags', via Island EMI Label Group.
A stripped-back house cut built around his own chopped vocal loops, driving basslines and crisp drum programming, the track racked up a wave of early traction on SoundCloud before its official release and has since picked up radio support from BBC Radio 1, Capital Xtra, and more.

KTmelodies began his journey in the church choir, learning guitar while his older brother played drums. He started producing at just 14, experimenting with beats in school music classes and at home in London. After relocating to California on a basketball scholarship in 2021, KT turned his focus entirely to music, blending the pulse of UK house with the warmth and bounce of the West Coast.
He released his first official single in 2022, and since then has quietly built a following with his distinctive sound, drawing on influences like Kaytranada, Daft Punk, and Masego. With early nods from key tastemakers and a growing online audience, ‘Pack Up Ya Bags’ sets the tone for a breakthrough year, positioning KTmelodies as one of the most exciting new names to watch in 2025.
