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:

Endorse James Yardley

by Andrew van Wert
James is one of the most talented players I know, yet also has the immense humility to be flexible and fluid in session/live working environments to bring out the best product possible - he truly brings so much to the table and songs we have been a part of together take on new life when he is involved! I can’t speak highly enough!
by Collin Hanley
James is an incredible musician and producer, always knowing exactly what the song needs instantly. Great tone and a great hang!
