Reservoir Media has acquired the catalogue of American singer-songwriter Bertie Higgins, including his publishing and master recording rights.
Higgins broke through with his 1981 debut single Key Largo, followed by 1983 album Just Another Day in Paradise. He subsequently released more than 20 additional albums, including various compilations.
His contributions to music earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Florida Music Hall of Fame in January 2016, and in 2019, he was inducted in the Florida Artists Hall of Fame. Higgins has been honoured with several international awards, including recognition in Germany and China.
Bertie Higgins said: “I am extremely pleased to be working with Reservoir Media for the next phase of my musical journey. Above all else, Reservoir, and particularly Donna Caseine, demonstrated commitment to preserving and expanding my legacy, which is now of the utmost importance to me. I could not be happier with my decision.”
Donna Caseine , Reservoir EVP, global creative director, said: “Bertie Higgins is a staple figure of the yacht rock genre, whose songwriting legacy, from the global success of Key Largo to his enduring international appeal, represents a unique and valuable addition to our catalog. We are honoured to bring his body of work to Reservoir and further reinforce our commitment to strategically expanding our portfolio through meaningful partnerships with legacy artists.”
