   04/21/22  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 43)

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR PHILLIP MICHAEL GILCHRIST, RECORDING ARTIST, MUSICIAN, PRODUCER, AND FOUNDER OF TRUESCALE RECORDS, AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON THE NEWLY CREATED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TRUESCALE RECORDS AND WARNER MUSIC AND ADA WORLDWIDE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that TrueScale Records (TSR), founded by Phillip Michael Gilchrist, completed an agreement on February 24, 2022, with Warner Music and ADA Worldwide for global distribution; and

Whereas, Mr. Gilchrist's foray into music performance began when he started playing and singing for two churches in his local community at the age of seven; and

Whereas, his study of music and his natural musical ability led him to perform, produce, and compose music, which have made him an authority in the areas of music production, composition, and arrangement; and

Whereas, a recording pop artist from South Carolina, Mr. Gilchrist is a vocalist, instrumentalist, and expert in music theory who has produced for and collaborated with musicians across the musical spectrum, including pop, country, R&B, hip-hop, jazz, classical, and Gospel; and

Whereas, he founded MP Productions in 2016 as a full-scale music production company, working with developing musicians to teach piano, drums, guitar, brass, music production, music composition, music theory, and vocal training in order to help them understand how to put it all together, break it down, and put it all back together again with skill; and

Whereas, MP Productions strives to perfect the music in the musician, recognizing that music is an art, so MP Productions seeks to develop the artist who produces that art; and

Whereas, Mr. Gilchrist, the founder of TSR, will lead the team in partnership with Warner Music and ADA Worldwide to identify, develop, and produce talented young artists in a multitude of genres; and

Whereas, TrueScale Records' label based in the Palmetto State is an African American owned company that focuses on the creative, entrepreneurial experience and offers full services for artistic development as the centerpiece for young artists; and

Whereas, Warner Music and ADA Worldwide plan to expand TSR's footprint from South Carolina and to help TSR's community of artists realize their visions around the world; and

Whereas, in 2022, TSR is set to release singles and albums from Phillip Gilchrist, as well as Lew McKenzie, Mollie Hanna, and others, and Mr. Gilchrist will be collaborating with these artists; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives appreciates the significant contributions of music legends through the decades which will be continued as TSR partners with Warner Music and ADA Worldwide, assuring its vast footprint in the music market space. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Phillip Michael Gilchrist, recording artist, musician, producer, and founder of TrueScale Records, and congratulate him on the newly created partnership between TrueScale Records and Warner Music and ADA Worldwide.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Phillip Michael Gilchrist.
