DeAntwann "DJ" Johnson is a multifaceted educator and advocate, devoted husband and father, accomplished author, and the dynamic force behind DJ Inspires, LLC. His credentials extend from being a parenting and youth empowerment coach to a qualified counselor and astute sports statistician.

DJ's narrative resonates deeply within educational environments, making him an invaluable asset to institutions committed to holistic student well-being. DJ's journey is a testament to the transformative power of resilience and mentorship. Navigating a tumultuous upbringing that included nine arduous years in Indiana's foster care system, experiences of child abuse, domestic violence, and emotional trauma, he emerged not as a statistic but as a beacon of hope and empowerment.

DJ's most important role in life is being the best husband and father he can be for his family.

When he is not with his family, he is speaking and helping others. DeAntwann "DJ" Johnson is more than a speaker or a coach; he is a transformative experience waiting to happen. He embodies the promise of what education and mentorship can achieve, illuminating the path from adversity to excellence.

Today DJ serves students and their families to help break generational curses by encouraging them to “Change Their Narrative” a message that empowers young people to take ownership in telling the story they want to tell, not allowing others to tell it for them. We can take control of our narrative,  there is nothing we can’t accomplish.

Born to 16 year old parents, DJ would be faced with unimaginable trauma early on in his life. His dad walked out of his life early on and his mother ultimately married a man who was very abusive. One summer day, DJ’s life changed forever. His brother ended up burning down their family apartment home and that led to months long homelessness. Not even a year later, drug addiction took over his mom and she wasn’t able to keep DJ or his siblings. DJ and his siblings went into the foster care system after that.

DJ'S COMPASSIONATE AND EMPATHETIC APPROACH TO YOUTH EMPOWERMENT MAKES HIM A HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER SPEAKER, MENTOR, AND EDUCATOR IN ACADEMIC SETTINGS.

There was a time when DJ considered ending it all; yet, a transformative realization steered him toward a greater purpose. Guided by mentors who saw the untapped potential within him, he rose above a life replete with challenges, overcoming humiliation, aggression, and self-esteem issues to become a stalwart advocate for youth.

THE BROTHERS KOREN (Formerly Booked as THE KIN, THORALD KOREN and ISAAC KOREN)

The Brothers Koren, comprised of Australian-born musicians and transformational leaders Thorald and Isaac Koren, are devoted to unlocking the power of song and voice to elevate human potential and champion mental and emotional well-being.

Hailing from Australia, their musical journey began in Sydney, where they cultivated a distinctive sound that led to global recognition. As The Kin, they gained a loyal following and achieved major milestones, including earning a gold record in New Zealand for their hit single Get On It on Interscope Records.

Their career catapulted onto the world stage as they toured Australia with P!NK on her Truth About Love Tour, performing for hundreds of thousands in sold-out arenas. They also had the honor of opening for Coldplay’s only Australian show during the Ghost Stories album cycle at the iconic Enmore Theatre in Sydney.

Their journey took them across the globe, performing with legends like Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, and Australian icons Colin Hay & Men at Work. Yet, despite their successes, they felt a deep yearning for something more—an authentic, purpose-driven path that transcended the traditional music industry.

In a defining moment of clarity, the brothers envisioned a new mission: to guide and mentor others in reclaiming the power of their own voices. Through their pioneering programs, they have helped thousands from diverse backgrounds heal and rediscover self-expression. Their work sheds light on Voice Trauma—the often-overlooked impact of judgment, suppression, and fear on one’s ability to fully express themselves.

Their impact has extended beyond the stage, working with Fortune 500 companies, NASDAQ, Evotek, UltraGenX, Diet Coke, and even designing voice-empowerment programs for school-aged children. To further their mission, they founded the Your Big Voice Foundation, dedicated to bringing transformational voice and music programs to under-served communities, using music as a tool for mental and emotional well-being.

In 2024, their groundbreaking work in storytelling and transformation was recognized when they received a Webby Award for their long-form documentary The Journey: The Brothers Koren. They are also esteemed members of the Association of Transformational Leaders and the Transformational Leadership Council, further cementing their place as leaders in personal and creative transformation.

Today, the Brothers Koren continue to challenge the world to embrace a voice-positive movement, co-hosting and co-creating The Journey, a groundbreaking TV show that reimagines transformation through music. Their mission is clear: to harmonize humanity, one voice at a time.

Seth Porter is a self-taught, genre-blending artist from Las Vegas whose journey started in the Mormon church. Raised on hymns, his early exposure to music was spiritual—but as he got older, he found himself drawn to something more rebellious. Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly became his biggest influences. During their rap beef, Porter didn’t pick sides—he studied both. But something about MGK stood out. It felt like the world was against him, and Porter related. At that time in his life, he felt like the world was against him too.

While he releases music under the name Seth Porter, he goes by Porter in everyday life.

At 14, Porter started writing obsessively—rhymes, poems, anything to process what he was feeling. A teacher recognized his raw talent and invited him to her classroom every day at lunch so he could avoid bullying. She didn’t just give him a safe space—she wrote with him, helped him make edits, sharpen his structure, and encouraged him to keep going. Porter credits his 9th grade English teacher as the biggest influence on his writing to this day.

That same year, he dropped his first track, Anxiety Demons. Like anything you do for the first time, it was horrible. The mix was non-existent—he recorded it on his phone over the sound of his laptop playing the beat in the background. The delivery was treacherous, and the songwriting was still finding itself. But it was honest—and putting it out into the world only amplified the hate. Already a target—he was 5’2″ for most of high school—Porter faced constant ridicule and regular encounters with physical abuse. But he didn’t back down. The more they laughed, the more he wrote. The more he wrote, the better he got.

At the same time, Porter was making waves in a completely different world—competitive debate. He joined the debate team and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the #1 ranked debater in the state. One tactic in debate is called “spreading”—delivering as many arguments as possible before time runs out so the opposing team can’t respond to them all. Porter mastered it. His teammates started calling him “Speedy”—a perfect nickname, since it played off his initials, SP, for Seth Porter. And it was through spreading that he learned to speak fast and clearly at an incredibly high pace—something he credits as the single greatest contributor to his development as a rapper.

Porter is a below-scratch golfer and played Division 1 in college. But behind the surface, he was battling something deeper. Diagnosed with OCD, he faced overwhelming mental health challenges—depression, anxiety, and years of high school bullying pushed him into a dark place. In college, it all boiled over. He attempted suicide and began misusing drugs. Eventually, his addiction forced him to leave school and he was admitted into a psychiatric unit.

When he was released, he saw two options: end it for good—or fight with everything he had to take his life back.

That’s when he met Ryan, president of Jewel Inc. and co-founder of the Inspiring Children Foundation, alongside Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jewel. Ryan saw past the mental health conditions and recognized who Porter really was underneath it all. Through the love and structure of that community, Porter began to heal. Over time, he overcame OCD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation in a powerful and lasting way.

Recovery took many forms—meditation, sobriety, healthy eating, exercise—but most importantly, purpose. With Ryan’s guidance, Porter rebuilt from the ground up. And not only did he heal—he found a level of peace, presence, and happiness he never thought was possible.

As his health improved, so did his music. He dedicates a minimum of 10 full, focused hours a day to his craft. He writes dozens of songs per day. The only thing slowing him down is access to high-end studio time. Otherwise, he’d be recording at the same pace he’s creating. He credits his OCD for this ability to lock in—channeling hyperfocus into prolific, precise songwriting.

Porter doesn’t claim natural talent—he claims obsession. He’s never taken a lesson. No vocal coach, no formal training. Even music theory—he taught himself. Everything he’s built came from relentless repetition and love for the craft. He writes across all genres—rap, punk, country, pop. Over time, he’s developed a kind of creative antenna—so attuned that songs seem to write themselves as soon as they appear.

As a proud Vegas native, repping the city is core to his identity. He sees how much talent exists in Las Vegas—with a lack of real representation—and he’s determined to change that. Coming up, he’d battle rap on Fremont Street. As a young white kid, people didn’t expect much—but once he started spitting fast and clean, the reaction flipped. He earned his respect quickly.

He’s fully invested. Every dollar Porter earns outside of necessary expenses goes straight back into studio time. It’s all in or nothing.

And above all else—Porter knows he’ll succeed. Not because of luck. Not because of hype. But because he refuses to stop. He’s fully committed to becoming a professional artist without ever settling. He outworks everyone around him—and he’ll never quit.

After nine years of doing the work behind the scenes, Porter is finally stepping into the light. His debut single is on the way, followed by a wave of releases and a full album. For him, it was never about fame. It’s about doing the work, honoring the craft, and giving everything he’s got—every single day.

Tyler Bel, an early technology adopter, grew up as a visual and performing artist who always knew that she would end up working with digital leaders and innovators as well as the entertainment industry.

Her drive and discipline first led her to join the Marine Corps after college, where she pursued foreign language and communications. After her tour, she went on to use her newly honed skills in the most creative ways she saw possible: sales, marketing and advertising.

Her ability to effectively convince and influence buyers and consumers led her to Portland, OR, where she found her initial niche working in Broadcast Television as an advertising coordinator at CBS. Tyler saw opportunities where many did not, and found that her creativity and passion for business development led to a position as Executive TV Producer.

Soon enough, her energy and initiative led her to branch away from traditional models and launch her own production company as well as digital agency. Even though her passions for technology and entertainment were being met, Tyler found a higher calling in helping advance people’s dreams.

Miss Bel found herself becoming the “conduit to the people you need to know where and when you need to know them,” which catapulted her to develop her own consulting firm, There Is No Sky. Her philosophy is based on the realization that there are no limitations to achieving your goals if you have the right mindset, strategy, access,and relationships.

Now that Tyler Bel has grown her experience through advising others, she plans to utilize her expertise in branding, communications, business development as well as interpersonal relationships to create a gamification blockchain venture of her own.

Her affinity and facility for AI,innovation, decentralization, intuition, and collaboration lends her to being an asset and strategic partner for any organization looking to gain a competitive advantage.

Rush Dorsett is a Voice Coach, Sound Healer, and Performing Artist who supports ambitious creatives in awakening their authentic voice, embodying their power, and freeing their self-expression through her EmbodiedVoice® method.

What lights her up is seeing her clients connect with the power of their authentic voice, release fears around self-expression, and find freedom and joy in their voice!

She received her Masters degree in Voice Science and Performance from New England Conservatory, her B.A. in Psychology and Music from Washington University in St. Louis, sound healing certifications from the Divine Resonance Center in Asheville, NC, and she is also a certified YogaVoice®️ facilitator.

She is passionate about sharing sound healing, music and voice work as tools for self-realization.

My approach to voice facilitation:

Inspired by my training in both Systematic Vocal Technique (SVT) and the YogaVoice® method, I take the ‘elements’ of bel canto vocal technique (including onset, registration, resonance, messa di voce, etc), and apply those elements to the chakras, or energy centers in the body. I listen for the elements in a person’s voice that are strong, and also the ones that need balancing.

Often, rather than correcting an imbalance with a vocalise, I’ll have the person connect with their body through a chakra-balancing posture or embodiment practice. This allows the mind/body system to rediscover its own authentic balance first, and then the elements of healthy vocal function are restored as well. The result is free, authentic singing and speaking, and a healthy connection with one’s voice.
