Reservoir announces the signing of artist, songwriter, and producer Rufio Hooks to a worldwide publishing deal. The deal includes Rufio's current global hit co-write "Butter" by the hugely successful K-Pop group BTS, plus future works.
Making his triumphant debut onto the mainstream music scene, Rufio Hooks né Sebastian Garcia co-wrote BTS' "Butter," the group's second English single. The track debuted at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, where it has remained for seven weeks, in addition to topping the Digital Song Sales chart. Upon release, "Butter" set several new all-time records; it had the biggest song debut on Spotify ever, with over 11 million first-day streams, and the music video soared to a record-breaking 113 million views within 24 hours and more than 3.9 million concurrent views. It is also the best-selling download of 2021 thus far. "Butter" also received widespread critical acclaim with the likes of Billboard, Forbes, Consequence of Sound, Entertainment Tonight, NME, and others referencing it as "Song of the Summer" in their reviews. Originally from New Jersey, and now based out of Nashville, Rufio has quickly established himself as a rising pop-forward songwriter, producer, and artist. Beyond the BTS collaboration, his knack for crafting melodies and lyrics, skill in vocal production, and propensity for blending together sounds from Pop, R&B, Folk, and Country has led to sessions with Zach Crowell, Filmore, Jennifer Denmark, Jimmie Allen, Seaforth, Sophia Quinn, Cameron Bedell, and Stephen Kirk, among others.Videos
