RESERVOIR ANNOUNCES PUBLISHING DEAL WITH DIAMOND-SELLING AND GRAMMY-NOMINATED SONGWRITER-PRODUCER JAKE SINCLAIR

Company also enters joint venture with Sinclair to sign and develop emerging talent 

New York, September 30, 2026—Reservoir Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSVR), an award-winning independent music company, today announced a new publishing deal with Diamond-selling and Grammy-nominated songwriter-producer Jake Sinclair for his future works. In addition, Reservoir has entered a joint venture with Sinclair to sign and develop emerging talent to publishing deals. 

Based in New York City, Sinclair got his start in the industry as a member of the indie band The Films and ultimately went on to become a Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, engineer, and musician. Sinclair spent a few years as Butch Walker’s engineer in LA, working with top artists like Taylor Swift, Pink!, Avril Lavigne, and Train, before leaning more heavily into songwriting. Since then, he has built an extensive list of collaborators and credits, including major hits by Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Weezer. 

Sinclair earned his first Gold single with his collaboration “Harlem” by New Politics, followed quickly by 2x-Platinum “She Looks So Perfect” by 5 Seconds of Summer. In addition, Sinclair played a central role in writing and producing Panic! At The Disco’s 2x-Platinum and #1 album Death of a Bachelor (2016). That same year, he produced Weezer’s Weezer (White Album), with both albums earning nominations for Best Rock Album at the 59th Grammy Awards. 

Sinclair became a frequent collaborator with Panic! At The Disco, also co-writing and producing the band’s 2x-Platinum and #1 album Pray for the Wicked (2018), including the Diamond-selling “High Hopes,” and co-writing 12 tracks off their 2022 album Viva Las Vengeance. Sinclair also co-produced Fall Out Boy’s 8x-Platinum hit “Centuries” and 3x-Platinum hit “Uma Thurman.” Most recently, he has notched credits with ONE OK ROCK, L.A. Exes, Ax and The Hatchetmen, Bailen, Daisy Grenade, and 5 Seconds of Summer. 

As part of the new deal, Reservoir and Sinclair will work together to identify and sign emerging artists and writers to publishing deals with the Company. Sinclair will have a hands-on role in working with developing talent and helping bring their creative visions to life. 

Sinclair commented on signing with Reservoir, “I’m so happy to have found a home in NYC with Reservoir. The people there already feel like family. There are so many talented bands and musicians that I’ve met since moving back to NYC, and I feel like together we could form one of the most exciting songwriting groups of all time. The city has a rich history of band culture, and I’m so grateful that I get to be a part of its Next era.”   

Reservoir Vice President of A&R and Marketing David Hoffman added, “It is an honor to welcome Jake to the Reservoir family. Few songwriters and producers have Jake’s combination of creative range, commercial success, and instinct for great artists. He has a unique ability to understand what makes a song Connect Group while giving the artists he works with the space to develop their own voice. We are excited to partner with him on his own work, and, through this joint venture, help cultivate a new generation of distinctive creators and music.”
