Flourish and Multiply

Label credited as phonogram owner on Sho Madjozi's breakout 2018-2019 recordings; no register entry or website found.

Flourish and Multiply is the label credited as phonogram owner on Sho Madjozi’s 2018 and 2019 recordings, including the album “Limpopo Champions League” (14 December 2018) and the single “John Cena” (27 September 2019), the record that took her to an international audience.

The credit is independently corroborated in two places: Deezer records the label on those releases as “Flourish & Multiply”, and MusicBrainz records “Flourish and Multiply” as the label on both “Limpopo Champions League” and “John Cena”. The releases sit in the UPC block beginning 757572, a block shared with releases credited to other South African labels, which indicates a shared barcode-issuing intermediary rather than any common ownership.

No register entry for the company was located. Its corporate form, jurisdiction, ownership and officers are not established, and no document states what became of its interest in the recordings after 2019.
