Diyet was born in a tent and spent her childhood on the ancestral lands of the Kluane First Nation people in Yukon Territory. Coming from a family rooted in traditions but tempered with a good sense of adventurous hippie attitudes, Diyet has created a musical presence that is as diverse as her Southern Tutchone, Tlingit, Japanese and Scottish heritage. Diyet’s music is alternative country, folk, roots, and traditional with catchy melodies and stories deeply rooted in her Indigenous world view and northern life. She plays bass and sings in both English and Southern Tutchone (her native language) and is backed by Love Soldiers husband and collaborator Robert van Lieshout (acoustic guitar, drums & percussion) and JUNO Award winning producer Bob Hamilton (electric guitar, pedal steel & mandolin).
Continuing to live with feet firmly planted in two worlds, Diyet’s adventurous and sometimes chaotic life is on full display in her music. She often says, “yesterday, fishing for our dinner on the ice, the next day, on the stage singing for you!”
