Diyatom Deb is a musician you won’t forget once you listen to his latest single “Girl Who Loved The Night”. This blues/rock/acoustic singer-songwriter from Shillong, Meghalaya has been in the music industry since 2013, but his latest single is proof that he’s only getting better with time.
Deb’s band includes Naman Datta on drums, Archit Agrawal on bass, Yashi Vikram on keyboards, Nishant Parashar on guitars, and Risshi Sachdeva who mixed and mastered “Girl Who Loved The Night”. Each member plays an integral role in the song, and together, they’ve created a sound that’s hard to forget.
The single was two years in the making, delayed by various factors including Covid-19, but it’s finally here! The track was recorded in Blacksheep Records for drums and bass, while guitar and keyboards were recorded in their homes. The recording process took about a month, but it was well worth it. Deb’s personal story and background, which you can find on his profile, helped inspire the lyrics and composition of the song.
Deb’s musical influences are varied, ranging from Eagles to The Beatles, Audioslave to Rage Against The Machine, and Indian bands like Skrat, Zero, and Them Clones. His favorite quote, “It ain’t about how hard you’re hit, it’s about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward,” from the movie Rocky Balboa, is a testament to his perseverance.
Deb’s love for music started at a young age, and his passion has led him to become a successful musician. Some of his career highlights include recording an EP for his band SkyEyes, which was mixed and mastered by UK-based producer Dan Swift, and being a top 9 contestant on the TV reality singing show, The Stage.

Deb’s favorite instrument is the piano, and he’d love to collaborate with Steve Lukather, although he knows that’s just a dream. But with his talent and perseverance, anything is possible.
