“When you see Ms. Chapa perform, you can feel her energy and her smile is contagious” - Houston Chronicle
Marcie Chapa, a noted percussionist with love for music and passion for education in the arts. Music is her art, her dream, her life. After realizing her God-given talent at the early age of 12, she began pursuing a career in the music industry with relentless tenacity. School competitions, contests, not only challenged her but also financed her way to the illustrious New School for Jazz and Contemporary School of Music in New York City. While attending the school, she was chosen to represent NSJCSM in an exclusive summer program in Italy. By 18, Marcie was performing professionally for crowds of thousands while perfecting her craft once inspired by percussion greats, Tito Puente, Sr., Karl Perazzo, Giovanni Hidalgo and Sheila E.
