Macy Chen has been singing professionally for over 15 years, first in her native Taiwan and for the last 5 years, New York City. Macy has been singing as long as she can remember. “At three years old, I was singing commercial jingles on the busâ€! Macy’s musical talent seems to run in the family. Her grandfather was a jazz saxophone player in Japan and her mom was her first piano teacher.
Macy decided to turn her passion for music into a career and graduated from Suchow University where she earned her bachelors degree in classical music. After graduation she took a job teaching piano at the Yamaha School of Music. Uninspired with classical music, she accepted a production assistant position at Pony Canyon Records, a Japan based label. This provided an opportunity for Macy to join numerous international concert tours for many famous Asian pop singers as backup chorus singer.
Macy released her solo album titled "Woman" in 1996 and was sought out as a guest singer for various fashion shows in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and China for Cartier, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, Swatch, Chrysler, Estee Lauder among others. Her growing popularity in the Asian scene led to an invitation to sing as a guest vocalist on Yo Yo Ma's album Supercharme published by Sony Records.
She was also invited to perform with renowned Japanese violinist Taro Hakase for his TV concert aired on “HDTV SHOW†broadcast by China Television Company. It is interesting to note that Taro Hakase recorded with Celine Dion on the song “To Love You Moreâ€.
After having established her reputation in the music industry, Macy’s skills as a vocal trainer and producer were sought by numerous Asian pop singers with major label recording contracts such as Sony, Virgin, Warner Records and EMI Entertainment Taiwan Ltd. Macy was the vocal producer for Elva Hsiao on her self titled debut album which is still the best seller for Virgin Records in Asia.
