Yi-Mei Templeman is a cellist and singer-songwriter from Santa Monica, California. She is a classical cellist in residence at the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA as a member of the internationally acclaimed piano trio, Trio Gaia. She has been writing songs from a young age, and began experimenting with singing and playing her cello like a guitar in 2018. Since then, Yi-Mei (under the artist name “yeemz”) has quickly established the roots of a uniquely multi-faceted performing career. She orchestrates her songs with her own cello playing and draws songwriting inspiration from literature, indie-folk influences, and classical music alike. You can find her on Instagram @yeemz.cello
