The Yellow Diary is a band of artists who are well known for their individual work, too. From talking about how the name of the band came to be, to how a good team is what makes them give the best of themselves, the band members talk about their journey as independent artists. Drunmer Sahil says, "Working with this group of friends is my biggest source of inspiration." Watch this exclusive and fun chat with The Yellow Diary as they join us for the second episode of our special series, The Indie Insider! But how did the band name themselves 'The Yellow Diary'? "The name actually comes from how the music is written," said Himonshu. "All the songs the band writes are inspired by personal stories and about people they might have come across. The lyrics of their songs might just be thoughts or philosophies about which a person might be writing in his or her journal. Like 'A Dear Diary'."According to the band, yellow is a very mysterious colour which usually means happy, but may have a very dark side to it. Even the songs by TYD have the same sort of expanse in terms of emotions - be it sad, happy, or anything in between.
