Mission Statement

I spent over three decades behind the microphone — on airwaves and in studios — speaking to millions, singing to thousands, and creating music that carried stories bigger than myself. But somewhere along the way, I realised that the most powerful thing I could ever broadcast… was belief.

 

Not just in songs or in soundbites — but in people.

 

Over the years, I’ve heard countless stories from listeners and students who told me that something I said or sang gave them hope. That what started as entertainment became a lifeline, a moment of clarity, or a reminder that they mattered. That stuck with me. And it grew into a calling I could no longer ignore.

 

In 2025, I made one of the biggest decisions of my life — I stepped away from a successful radio career to answer a deeper call: to build something that could outlive the airwaves. Something rooted in heart, not just headlines.

 

The John Klass Foundation is that something.

It’s the next chapter — and the most meaningful one yet.

 

This foundation is born from a belief that music, mindset, and media can do more than just entertain. They can heal. They can connect. They can empower a young person to believe in their future, help a couple find their way back to each other, or a family rediscover the love that holds them together.”

 

I didn’t start this with all the answers — just with a voice, a vision, and a heart full of faith.

And if that’s enough to help even one person rise, then every note, every word, and every risk will have been worth it.

 

This isn’t just my story anymore.

It’s ours.
