Yi-Mei is a cellist, singer-songwriter, and composer from Santa Monica, California who aims to creatively fuse genres in order to welcome people of all backgrounds into her distinctly intimate and emotive storytelling. She is the founding member of acclaimed classical piano trio, Trio Gaia – currently in-residence at New England Conservatory. She has been writing music on the piano from a young age, but only 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 career, performing and producing her own music, recording and arranging strings for other artists, writing music for film, performing around the world as a classical cellist, and teaching cello students of all ages. She has songs out on all streaming platforms, which have been featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists. She is currently releasing her first EP, “Hey, You!”. You can find more of her music on her Instagram, @yeemz.cello.
