Donnelly is best known for her role in âHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series,â and the original movie âZombies,â the latter of which she served as an executive producer.
The signing was led by Range Music partner Jared Cotter, who was recently named Billboardâs Executive of the Week for his work co-managing breakout star Shaboozey, his co-writer Sean Cook, and Paul Russell, who is responsible for the hit, âLil Boo Thang.â
Donnelly, who is working on new music, has just released her latest single, âby my heart,â marking her first release with Range Music. In 2018, she was named Radio Disneyâs NBT (Next Big Thing), putting her on the map internationally. She has since performed alongside artists like The Jonas Brothers, Avril Lavigne, Alessia Cara, and most recently opened for Doja Cat.
Donnellyâs latest release, the single âtitle,â with global charting producer Tenroc, laid the foundation for what fans can expect next in her career. In collaboration with creative director Max Pham, who has toured with and choreographed for A-list artists, Donnelly has been able to âbring her passion for dance, music, and her NYC roots to life.â
In addition to her work as a musician and actress, Donnelly is passionate about mental health awareness, having experienced anxiety from a young age. She has partnered with various non-profit organizations and hospitals, including the Childrenâs Health Fund and Childrenâs Miracle Network Hospitals as an ambassador. By sharing her own experiences, tips, and resources, she hopes that kids and young adults feel more supported in their journeys with mental health.âWe chose Range because of their incredible creative team and what theyâve been able to build. It feels really special,â says Kasual Kas, Donnellyâs manager at Big Wins Only. âTheir entire staff felt young, hungry, and really understood the long-term vision for Meg as an artist, so it was an easy decision for us. On the business side, Range was also extremely flexible and understood that deals are structured differently now for artists, and they made sure to champion ownership. We were in talks with many labels, but this one truly felt like a partnership, and thatâs what we always wanted.â
âMeg is an undeniable superstar who is so certain in her vision and was willing to hold out until the right partner came along. For Meg, that partner was Range,â added Kristina Mazzola, also from Donnellyâs management team at Big Wins Only. âAfter the release of âtitle,â it was clear Range truly understood the path Meg is carving out for herself. The skyâs the limit for Meg, and I am excited for the world to experience her as an artist.â
âIâve admired Megâs talent and tenacity for years, and Iâm thrilled to finally have the opportunity to work with her,â concludes Cotter. âShe is a genre-melding artist that has had multi-format success, and Range Music is uniquely positioned to help her reach superstar status. Weâre very much looking forward to being a part of her journey to the top.â
