Wonderlick Entertainment is an Australian music company with its head office located in Sydney, Australia.[1] It was founded by co-CEOs Gregg Donovan and Stu MacQueen in 2007,[2] building on Donovan's existing list of clients. Donovan and MacQueen expanded from a management company into a full service music company, adding a joint venture record label with Sony Music (Wonderlick Recording Company) and a publishing company (Wonderlick Publishing).[3][4] In 2019, The Music ranked Donovan and McQueen at number twenty-two in their "Power 50" ranking of top Australian music business personnel based on their management of Wonderlick.[5]
In 2018 the company opened an office in New York City.[2][5][6]
