Lillian Yee, Brazilian & Jazz Vocalist
Overview
I’m a vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, working across Brazilian music, jazz, and contemporary styles. My repertoire includes bossa nova, MPB, choro, samba-canção, and American songbook material, with a focus on warm tone, clear phrasing, and lyric-driven performance.
I play glockenspiel, melodica, harp, and auxiliary percussion, and perform in both intimate and ensemble settings. I’m a classically trained composer and singer-songwriter with a network of collaborators.
I read music fluently, learn quickly, take repertoire requests, and shape sets to fit each event. I also design promotional materials, including flyers and digital ads.

In Lillian we find an all-around musician who inflects her vocals with a shimmering sound and a warmth and charm that captivates audiences in Brazilian and Jazz repertoire alike. Her vocal styling draws on her deep sense of musicianship and feeling for the repertoire she's singing, and her interpretation draws on deep emotional connection with the tunes.
