Co-Founder of Vulfpeck, Songriter, Producer and Solo Artist Signs First Publishing Agreement

 

Reservoir (NASDAQ: RSVR), an award-winning independent music company, today announced a new publishing deal with songwriter, producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Theo Katzman. This marks Katzman’s first publishing deal and includes his entire catalog and future works, outside of his compositions with Vulfpeck, of which he is a founding member. 

Based between Los Angeles and Michigan, Katzman has carved out an impressive solo artist career, releasing four studio albums on his label, 10 Good Songs, and performing to sold-out crowds across the U.S. and Europe. In 2011, he released his first album Romance Without Finance, followed by Heartbreak Hits (2017), Modern Johnny Sings: Songs in the Age of Vibe (2020), and Be The Wheel (2023). Released this past March, Be The Wheel debuted to critical acclaim and continues to solidify Katzman’s solo work. In addition, Katzman has worked as a musician, songwriter, and producer, collaborating with a variety of artists across genres, including Carly Rae Jepsen, Rett Madison, Kesha, Teddy Geiger, and Louis Cato. 

Katzman has also made a name for himself as a co-founder of Vulfpeck, writing songs, singing, and playing numerous instruments including guitar, bass, piano, and percussion for the group. Founded in 2011, Vulfpeck have released four EPs and six full-length albums to date, with Katzman helping establish the band’s signature sound – a fusion of pop, jazz, funk, and indie rock. The group has also sold out venues across the country, including Madison Square Garden. 

On signing with Reservoir, Katzman commented, “I’ve been waiting my whole career to find the right publisher for my music— once I met David, I knew Reservoir was it!”

Reservoir Vice President of A&R and Marketing David Hoffman added, “Theo is an unbelievable singer-songwriter and uniquely skilled musician, whose talents have earned him many dedicated fans, including countless other artists, songwriters, and industry professionals. We at Reservoir are proud to be his first-ever publisher, and we look forward to helping him build on all his success to date and exploring new avenues for his talents.”
