Born into a distinguished artistic family ,Princess YiYi(stage name), began studying Chinese opera, dance, piano and popular music at an early age.  Her family includes renowned artists in  Chinese traditional music, opera, drama and dance.  While her maternal grandfather Huating Li was a respected  talent manager  and agent in the Chinese opera industry.

With many years of study and professional experience in both China and the United States, YiYi has developed a unique persepective on the connection between Eastern and Western Perforning Arts. She believes that the Arts originates from life, but also transcends life.  That while artistic traditions may differ across cultures, their essence lies in the shared human experience and the power of emotional expressions, the spiritual cognition of Arts is the same. 

Drawing on this rich artistic heritage, YiYi created “Fascinique-Four Tales" an English language musical inspired by elements of Chinese opera ,for which she obtained U.S. copyright registration.

Today, YiYi brings the elegance , expressive storytelling, and theatrical sensibility of her eastern artistic roots into the world of modern jazz, jazz pop, and contemporary lounge music . Blending timeless melodies with an initmate sophisticated style, she creates distinctive musical experiences for luxury resorts, hotel lounge , senior living communities,  nonprofit organizations ,cultural programs, charitable events and other refined performance setttings.
