Diyet & The Love Soldiers is alternative country, folk, roots and traditional music with catchy melodies and stories deeply rooted in Diyet's Indigenous world view and northern life.
Born in a tent and raised in a cabin on the shores of a glacial lake in the Kluane region of Canada’s Yukon Territory, Diyet embodies her Southern Tutchone, Japanese, Tlingit and Scottish roots with a musical presence that is equally diverse and unique.
Playing bass and singing in both English and traditional Southern Tutchone, Diyet is backed by Love Soldiers Robert van Lieshout (acoustic guitar, drums & percussion) and Bob Hamilton (electric guitar, pedal steel and mandolin). Together this multi-instrumental trio has a sound that can fill a big stage or capture an intimate room; from alternative country, folk, roots and traditional music, with catchy melodies and stories deeply rooted in Diyet’s Indigenous world view and northern life.
Diyet’s heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of vast landscapes, wildness, truth, hope, reconciliation, history and the community that surrounds her. Expect a journey through land and time.
