Our roots
Donaldson Music Group traces its roots back to 2014 in the Free State province of South Africa. Read more..
The company was originally established as Donaldson Publishing Company by Kenny “Prof” Donaldson. At the time, the business focused primarily on music publishing, rights registration, and sync licensing for advertising and assignment-based projects.
For nearly a decade, the company operated within the publishing and commercial music space, specialising in structured rights management and advertising placements.
In 2023, ownership of the company was officially transferred to Emily Maseko and Mashaa Ramokgopa. Under new leadership, the company was restructured and rebranded as Donaldson Music Group.
This marked a significant transition, expanding from a publishing-focused entity into a broader record label and music services company.
Today, Donaldson Music Group operates across multiple areas of the music industry.
The Core Pillars.
01. Protection
In an industry moving at lightspeed, protecting intellectual property from exploitation and dilution is everything. This company exists to be the shield for music assets across every digital platform.
02. Execution
Success does not rely on automated algorithms or silent support tickets. We drive results through active catalogue management, transparent splits, and direct, human infrastructure built for long-term growth.
The Architects.
Our operations are led by founders Emily K. Maseko (Managing Director) and Mashaa M. Ramokgopa (Registered Director). Financial management is handled by Financial Officer Titus Molokomme, while day-to-day business operations and administration are managed by Operations Officer Dorcus L. Nyamhunga.
