The John Walt Foundation empowers and enables youth across multiple artistic platforms. We intend to partner professional artist with youth to help mentor as well as build their artistic futures. We are here to embolden the creative soul of every young artist by inspiring a few to take their dreams and accomplish them. John Walt was known as one of the founding members of the PIVOT Gang (Chicago’s Westside Boy Band), along with his cousins Saba and Joseph Chilliams, friends MfnMelo and Frsh Waters. He was well known and loved in the Chicago music community. John Walt was positive, kind, hardworking and had an infectious smile.
