James Yardley on SoundBetter

I am an instrumentalist, producer, and remote tracking engineer specializing in bass and keys work. I am available to add parts to an existing project or help build your demo or song from scratch.

Interested in having professional quality parts recorded for your song, album or EP? I specialize in writing and recording bass guitar, piano, Rhodes, synth and B3 parts to elevate your project to its highest potential.

I work with an ever-growing list of artists in live, studio, and remote settings, and have the tools and intuition to help achieve your goal for a track. In my two years working full time in the music business I have played over a hundred live shows for more than twenty different artists, including multiple nationwide tours, and have begun assembling a repertoire of studio credits on both bass and keys. You can find a selection of tracks that I have played on here:
