Reservoir Media has signed a new publishing deal with country writer and producer Travis Heidelman for his full catalogue and future works.
The agreement marks LA-based Heidelman’s first publishing deal and includes his recent hit collaboration Austin (Boots Stop Workin’) by Dasha.
Tied to a line-dancing trend started by Dasha on TikTok, Austin has generated over a million video creations on the platform with over 10 billion views. In addition, the song has accumulated around 500 million streams on Spotify alone.
Heidelman co-wrote and produced two other songs on Dasha’s 2024 album, What Happens Now?.
In addition to his work on Austin, Heidelman has also collaborated with artists including Annie Schindel, Arden Jones, Claire Rosinkranz, Taylor Bickett, Whitney Phillips, Noah Floersch, Rollo, Greyson Chance, Jimmy Robbins, and many more. Heidelman’s music has landed sync placements on television networks like TLC and Bravo, including for the series The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
