Born and raised in Burwash Landing, Yukon, Diyet is a classically-trained singer with a degree from the University of Victoria and a published songwriter with song placements in Japan, Canada and Europe. With a great grandpa who was an eminent potlatch singer, a grandma who was an opera singer, and a musician father, singing came naturally to Diyet.

Diyet’s return to her Yukon roots after many years of living away inspired new passion and focus in her songwriting. The outcome is a stellar debut CD, The Breaking Point – a collection of songs inspired by her experiences and observations of life in contemporary First Nations society. Backed by leading Yukon musicians from a variety of musical and cultural backgrounds, the result is a groove-filled sound that explores R&B, rock, roots and world beats.

In concert, Diyet engages audiences in an intimate and uplifting experience as she invites them into her world of upbeat, soulful music. At once humorous, serious and emotive – and with a powerhouse voice that conveys emotion, passion, and hope – Diyet is a contemporary aboriginal artist whose music leaves listeners with a sense of hope and possibility.
