Immersion

Keiko Yamada is a self-taught artist and a classically trained pianist, currently residing in Southern California.

As Third Culture Kid/Adult (people who grew up in a multi-cultural context before/during their teenage years), she was molded and shaped by various cultures. Through layers of cross cultural experiences, she increasingly cherished the reality of how art and music speaks beyond cultural borders and languages. She was born and raised in Japan, spent all of her teen years in Canada and the States, and later moved to China, where she spent the majority of her 20s. All her music and art reflects the unique blend of her cultural experiences, curiosity and creativity. Since she officially started her artist career in 2018, she has collaborated with many local restaurants, coffeeshops, city exhibitions to showcase her art.
