Reservoir Signs Writer-Performer Alex Hepburn To A Worldwide Publishing Deal

Reservoir announces the signing of British writer-performer Alex Hepburn to a worldwide publishing deal. The deal includes global rights to her entire catalog, including her recently released EP, If You Stay.

"I'm thrilled to welcome Alex to Reservoir," said Annette Barrett, Managing Director of Reservoir/Reverb Music who signed Hepburn to the roster. "She is a huge talent as both a songwriter and an innovative artist and one to watch out for!"

"Annette and the Reservoir team are the very best," added Hepburn. "The first time I met them I just knew they were the ones and I'm so lucky to have such proactive, forward-thinking publishers who have my back 24-7!"

Signed to a record deal with Warner Music France, Hepburn debuted her highly anticipated new EP, If You Stay, led by lead single "I Believe," this month. Racking up over three million streams, "I Believe" also earned tastemaker acclaim, with Earmilk noting the cut "showcases Alex's smooth, soul-drenched vocals and her free-spirited approach to song-writing." If You Stay is the follow up to Hepburn's 2013 debut studio album, Together Alone, which reached top five in France and Switzerland, achieving Platinum and Gold certifications respectively. She also recently collaborated with British drum-and-bass duo Matrix & Futurebound on the single, "Live Another Day."

An accomplished performer, Hepburn has shared the stage on tour with the likes of Bruno Mars, Alex Clare, and Lianne La Havas, among others, and most recently supported Bruno Mars at the sold out British Summer Time Hyde Park concert earlier this month.
