Hugh’s Room : Diyet & The Love Soldiers

CONNECTED BY LAND, TRANSFORMED BY LANGUAGE, HER SONGS ARE
NATURAL, GENUINE, AND A REMINDER TO LISTEN TO THE WORLD AROUND US.

As long as she can remember, Diyet has been drawn to music and words as the
easiest way for a shy kid to express herself. This led to a degree in music performance
and a short career in publishing before she realized that home was calling her back. On
returning home, she began to seriously write from a more personal place. The result of
this unlikely career move has seen international collaborations, extensive touring and
four albums with her most recent one, Seeds of Dreaming, released September 2025.
Diyet’s lyrics and melodies are rooted in her lived experience, especially to the land and
community where she was born and raised. Her style is both introspective and vast,
juxtapositions that are reflected in immense landscapes and secluded communities,
exploring modern Indigenous perspectives on ancestral philosophies, traditions, trauma,
and healing.

Her band, The Love Soldiers, blend their Canadian roots, alt-country and folk energy
with a unique traditional vibe. Diyet sings in both English and her native language,
Southern Tutchone, which blends beautifully with the band’s other members, Robert
van Lieshout and Bob Hamilton. During the last decade, Diyet has performed at major
folk, jazz, world and multi-disciplinary festivals and theatres in Canada, and toured in
the UK, Europe, US and Circumpolar North. Diyet & The Love Soldiers recently
performed at the English Folk Expo in Manchester, Osaka Expo 2025 in Japan, and
Mundial Montréal.

Diyet’s new music expands across the width of Americana with a focus on lyrical
stories, taking the listener on a journey through land and time. Each song manifests her
experience as an Indigenous woman walking in two worlds. 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.
Come see this incredible performer at Hugh’s Room on Friday March 13th.
