Karien de Waal is an enthusiastic, all-round creative with a passion for helping the next generation develop their natural talents in music. After studying marketing, she pursued her dream of becoming a composer, which saw her accepted into the Berklee College of Music. Four-and-a-half years later, she returned to Cape Town with a seed planted deep in her heart to make a difference. In 2018, after freelancing in the music industry for a season, she founded Join Bands Not Gangs, a non-profit company that equips and trains youth in at-risk communities as a way to bring peace to gang-ridden communities through music.
