Phillip Michael Gilchrist is a recording Pop Artist from South Carolina and has produced for and collaborated with musicians across the musical spectrum to include the following genres: Pop, Country, R&B, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Classical and Gospel.

In addition to being a multi talented vocalist, instrumentalist and music theory expert, he is the Founder of MP Productions and the Executor of TrueScale Records.

Phillip started MP Productions in 2016 as a full scale music production company working with up and coming musicians to teach piano, drums, guitar, brass, music production, music composition, music theory, and vocal training. Phillip's belief is that "It is important for a musician to understand how to put it all together, break it down, and put it all back together again with SKILL". "MP Productions strives to perfect the music in "YOU" recognizing that music is an ART… and it is the ARTIST that MP Productions seeks to develop."

In 2019, Phillip took his skills and the principles of masterful recording and producing music to a whole new level by launching a major Record Label in the United States. TrueScale Records is an International Record Label identifying real talent in the music entrepreneurial space with the goal of signing talented musical entrepreneurs.

Phillip believes the next renaissance of the music industry is to complement the streaming world by preserving the integrity of the Independent and Entrepreneurial artist and return the art of music back to its roots...which are the fans and the listeners!

Phillip's philanthropy and community service are key cornerstones to his companies and his personal involvement and success. Among his philanthropic and involvement activities, he is the co-founder of Musicians for Vets, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing music support and training to disabled veterans. In addition, he is a member of the Young Entrepreneurs Music Guild, the American Music Federation, the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) just to name a few.

In his spare time he enjoys being a musician for the South Carolina United Methodist Conference, teaching music, performing and arranging his own compositions, playing tennis and skating.
