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.

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.

He is the proud father of four grown children.
Having suffered from allergies, Dr. Benson was personally motivated to find the cause of this affliction. Fortunately, his strong science background and ecological training unravel the cause of allergies and also autoimmune diseases. His strength of character has contributed to his success despite the strong opposition he received from some quarters of the medical profession. What Dr. Benson has discovered is a paradigm shift in the way of looking at allergic and autoimmune diseases. His book further explains the cause of these afflictions and goes even further to give the reader helpful direction as to how they too can move away from treating only the symptoms to treating the causes with the hope of a cure.
As is common to people who are ahead of their time, Dr. Benson has experienced opposition. This book is the accumulation of his knowledge and it is because of Dr. Benson’s strong social conscience that is presented here.
