Royal Yellow began as a result of Mark O'Brien's experimentation with electronic music, following the break-up of his previous band Enemies.

In 2018 O’Brien linked up with acclaimed Irish producer Bantum to create the debut single ‘Hazeldene’. It has since racked up over 800,000 streams on Spotify and was featured in the BBC/Hulu series Normal People. In 2019 O’Brien worked with SENU to create follow-up ‘Aruba’. 

Royal Yellow's third single 'May The First' was released on that same date in 2020. It features a pitched-down, trip-hop inspired vocal from Lisa Hannigan, and received its first broadcast on Annie Mac's 'Future Sounds' show on BBC Radio 1.

The artist is currently recording a body of work for release in 2020.
