Chrysalis Music Group USA

Because music moves the soul

About Me

Chrysalis Music Group has evolved into one of the most innovative independent music publishers in the music industry. Based in Los, Angeles, Chrysalis Music Group has recently doubled its catalogue, developed a diverse roster of artists, produced records and forged a number of key strategic alliances worldwide. Under the leadership of President Kenny MacPherson, Chrysalis Music Group has broadened the scope of its operations as well as the depth of its catalogue, which encompasses a diverse array of artists such as Grammy award winners OutKast, Velvet Revolver, Johnta Austin, Thom Yorke and Producers extraordinaire, Daniel Lanois and Ethan Johns. Chrysalis is home to a legendary catalogue entailing the hits of Blondie, David Bowie, Jethro Tull, Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, Roy Ayers and David Lee Roth. Chrysalis continues to push the envelope in developing and nurturing individual creative talent as many of its songwriter/producers have enjoyed successes with such multi-platinum artists as Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, Jennifer Lopez, Marilyn Manson, Michael Jackson, Tim McGraw, Jay Z, Christina Aguilera, Snoop Dogg, Avril Lavigne, The Dixie Chicks, Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Santana, Faith Evans, Mario, Ciara, Fantasia, Mary J. Blige, Gwen Stefani and Letoya. Utilizing a uniquely aggressive marketing and licensing approach, MacPherson and his staff have recently brokered a number of signings and alliances that have further enforced the Chrysalis Music Group. These include the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, My Morning Jacket, The Secret Machines, TV On The Radio, Dan Wilson, Underworld, Joe Henry, Page Hamilton, Michael Angelo, Randy Jackson, Strata, No ID, Ray LaMontagne, Motion City Soundtrack, The Black Keys, Paul Oakenfold, All Star and Scar. Additionally, Chrysalis has also achieved profound success with music placement in Film and Television. This includes commercials for Cingular, Revlon, Dr. Pepper, Nissan and Victoria's Secret; syncs in critically acclaimed TV shows as The Sopranos, The O.C., Grey's Anatomy, Entourage, The C.S.I. series, Nip/Tuck and The Shield; and such current films as Marie Antoinette, The Life Aquatic, Elizabethtown, The Devil Wears Prada, Quinceanera and A Scanner Darkly. "Our strength as a company is in our name and all that it stands for" states MacPherson. "It's a brand name that points to our great legacy of finding and developing artists. We play to our strengths and capitalize on our company's outstanding creative and independent culture, as well as its ability to seek out and bring new talent to market."
