Reservoir forms songwriter development venture with Warren ‘Oak’ Felder
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 7 December 2017
Ever-expanding US music rights firm Reservoir has announced the launch of a new joint venture with Grammy-winning writer-producer Warren ‘Oak’ Felder.
The plan is to sign and develop new songwriting talent together, with the first such new talent set to be jointly developed being LA-based production duo Trevor Brown and Zaire Koalo, aka The Orphanage.
Confirming all that, Reservoir SVP Of Creative And A&R Donna Caseine said: “We are excited to announce a new relationship with Oak Felder, one of the most accomplished and talented producer/songwriters in today’s music. Our shared passion and belief in Trevor and Zaire will surely be the beginning of a very new and exciting chapter for us all”.
Adds Felder: “Having your own success is rewarding, but there is nothing quite like having success with those you’ve mentored. Trevor and Zaire from The Orphanage have come so far, and this is really just the beginning. It’s awesome to have a great team in Reservoir to continue to develop these guys”.
Felder and The Orphanage already have management in common, with said managers – Lucas Keller and Peter Coquillard – adding that they and their clients were “THRILLED to be working with Reservoir’s great global team”.
