Scott Diiorio

I am a native American Flute player who brings his music from his Native roots, both Cherokee and Choctaw. I create my music from what I feel and see in life around me. I also reflect stories I learn, and stories of real people. I myself play the flutes, native drums, and create digital music for the songs. You will also here me speak in cherokee, and present chants from me and other Native American people. Catherine Eveleth will be doing guitar work for me on several projects. She also reaches into her Native roots to create music from the heart. Together our spirits fly.

I was once lost in my life. Always feeling as part of me and my heritage was lost or unknown. Yes many of us learn that Grandfather and Grandmother were Indian. Or our great grandfathers and grandmothers. Some off us seem to have a pull towards nature and the rhythm of the drum, a desire to feel one with the natural world around us. We only have to learn to stop and listen to the elders and story tellers to regain the past. Even today on some reservations, culture seems to be slipping away from the youths do to modern mainstream America. Many with native blood live a life of a robotic society, an loose the spirit of the land. We need to hear the voices of the ancestors of the land, and let them guide us back to our spirit. Center yourself with the life, and you will find balance within. I have always felt energy when playing the flutes. I start with a traditional thanks to the land and our creator. The flute is an expression of love, to the earth our mother, the creator, the winged ones, the four legged, and all in this world. When this is done, the music comes more natural. My music is a reflection of me, and other things in my life. Many who enjoy my music often tell me they can relate to it, since it often reflects them as well. I have returned to music and will bring a variety of music from POP/Rock, Dance, and traditional flute music for a wide variety of listeners.

Yes. I am available to play live in the NJ/NYC/PA/ areas. I am also available to instruct flute music, and do fund raisers. I will also play with Jeff Ball and help him with his events. Jeff Ball is an amazing artist himself, and I will continue to support him and his music.

Great flute players and native artists such as Robert Mirabal, Douglas Spotted Eagle, Carlos Nakai, and many others. The artist have the greatest reserve in my soul for is Jeff Ball. I can relate to his music very well, and our tastes are the same. I plan to perform with him and help him out in the future.

I use a custom software on my recording system. This allwos me to over lay my tracks, create effects, and the sound I am looking for. On my Native Dance tracks, I blend real music, chants and instruments with techno/dance jams.

My purpose is to bring native american instruments and artists into the pop/rock top lists. We have alot to offer, and do it from our hearts. I am a member of the INAFA, International Native American Flute Association. We support each other in our music missions and preservation of the flutes.
