ABOUT ME

based in the Twin Cities. I graduated from McNally Smith College of Music in 2016 with a focus in Bass Performance, and since then I’ve performed and recorded with artists including LA Buckner & BiG HOMiE, Cameron Wright, Thomas Abban, Paris Bennett, TABAH, Jamecia Bennett, Ashley DuBose, Lorie Line, Darnell Davis, Jovonta Patton, Dylan Salfer, and many others.

I played bass on every track of LA Buckner’s album Big Homie, which reached #1 on the Apple Music Jazz charts. In 2026, LA Buckner & BiG HOMiE were selected by Snarky Puppy drummer Robert “Sput” Searight to perform in Los Angeles as part of a new artist showcase during NAMM Week.

I also make videos through Ethan’s Bass World, my YouTube channel about bass, music, and the joy of getting way too obsessed with both. The channel features bass playing, lessons, album deep dives, gear, music discovery, and whatever other musical nonsense I get myself into.

My newest podcast is Apatow Nerd with Ethan Yeshaya, where I revisit the films and television shows of comedy producer Judd Apatow with friends and interview people who have worked with him.

I live in Minneapolis with my wife, Bridget, and our dogs, Penny and Buddha.
