Digawolf

Diga grew up in the remote community of Behchoko, located in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Behchoko is the capital of the Tlicho Nation. His first and only language until the age of 9 was Tlicho. Growing up surrounded by older brothers who were passionate about rock and roll, the sounds of iconic artists like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were the soundtrack of Diga’s childhood. Yet, Diga’s first artistic interests fell firmly in visual arts and cartooning. It wasn’t until Diga found a forgotten copy of Tom Waits’s Rain Dogs that he developed fascination with music, and it led him down the journey he has been on since.  

Diga continues to live, write, and produce music from Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories. Fueled for his love of the North, his music is often infused with stories from his father’s life on the land, as well as his own experience being caught between two worlds. Diga works with his long time friend and drummer, David Dowe, as well as many other talented local musicians to create and develop the sounds of Digawolf.
