David Gresham Music Group: David Gresham Music Publishing (DGMP) was established in 1972 by popular radio and television personality David Gresham. The company was founded out of necessity as David had personally written the hit song “I’ll Walk with You” performed by Sean Rennie and needed a publisher, so David formed DGMP. Over the 45 years DGMP has grown into what is considered the 4th major publisher in South Africa, representing some of the greatest and most important copyrights in the world. The company proudly represents major global publishers. With these publishing catalogs, comes major talent, making us exceptionally competitive and successful not only in publishing tracking and collection but a superb and extreme purveyor of synchs. Our team is actively in touch with all record companies seeking covers for our publishers.

Aside from representing the biggest names in the business DGMP is at the forefront of creative opportunity for songwriters not only locally but on the international stage too, for example the company recently pitched and secured the song usage for a global Quaker Oats (PepsiCo) TV campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wXfSBgOxgA which is currently being broadcast in over 150 countries worldwide, this composition was a 4 way co-write lead by our company, a South African writer and two US writers. In 2015 the company secured a synch placement in the animated movie “Robinson Crusoe” produced by Studio Canal in France another international composition between our local writers and US based partners. Locally the company’s copyrights can be heard in major radio and TV commercials for First National Bank, MTN Cellular, Vodacom Cellular, Renault, MacDonald’s and so many more.
