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. Connected by land, transformed by language, her songs are natural, genuine and a reminder to listen to the world around us.Born in a tent, 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. The music expands across the width of Canadiana music with a focus on lyrical stories taking the listener on a journey through land and time. Inspired by vast landscapes, clashing and embracing realities, Diyet's heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of wildness, truth, hope, reconciliation, history and the community that surrounds her.
Diyet sings in both English and her traditional language, Southern Tutchone, and plays bass. Backed by Love Soldiers, husband and collaborator, Robert van Lieshout acoustic guitar, drums & percussion) and Bob Hamilton (electric guitar, pedal steel & mandolin), this multi-instrumental trio has a sound that can fill a big stage or capture an intimate room.
During the last decade Diyet has performed at major folk, jazz, world and multi-disciplinary festivals and theatres in Canada, toured in the UK, Europe, US and Circumpolar North. Diyet and the Love Soldiers recently performed at Osaka Expo 2025 in Japan. In 2019, Diyet performed at four Highlights venues to a great response.
