The Podcast Cartel was founded by Donkeyman and Mladen, the creative minds behind 'The Mexidonian Mix Podcast' and part of the Donkeyman Records family. As the brainchild of Donkeyman Records, the network was built to connect independent creators with the right audiences. With their passion for supporting artists and entrepreneurs, Donkeyman and Mladen created a platform where diverse voices can promote their work and grow through a tailored podcast experience.
Donkeyman, also known as Simon Cordova, is a versatile musician, entrepreneur, and creative visionary based in the southeast of Melbourne. His journey spans over 15 years in the music industry, but after facing mental health challenges, he took a step back from his craft. In 2022, a turning point came when he purchased and renovated a caravan, reigniting his passion for music and entrepreneurship. This project marked the birth of Donkeyman Records and set the stage for his reentry into the music world, stronger and more focused than ever.
As an artist, Donkeyman has released a range of music, including his album Who I Am and standout tracks like "Vibe Check" and "Whiskey River." His unique blend of hip-hop, funk, and storytelling has made him a distinctive voice in the industry. His work with Donkeyman Records not only promotes his own music but also helps uplift other artists, offering a platform for creative expression and growth.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Donkeyman co-founded The Podcast Cartel, a network designed to give independent creators, small business owners, and artists a chance to promote their work for free. Born out of the success of "The Mexidonian Mix Podcast," which he co-hosts with Mladen, The Podcast Cartel connects creators with the right audiences, bridging the gap between passion and promotion.
At the heart of Donkeyman’s entrepreneurial vision is MSDR Alliance, the overarching company that includes Donkeyman Records , Aurora Honey Co., Lumine.XNeon, and more. His ventures are as diverse as they are innovative, ranging from AI driven neon signage tools to premium honey products.
