The House of Music

In this inspiring episode, Desi Arnaz sits down with San Diego native and radio host Chris Springer, founder of The House of Music. From growing up in Logan Heights to creating a jazz and Latin music program that brings instruments, culture, and mentorship to underserved youth, Chris shares how his story was shaped by heritage, hardship, and hope.

Chris opens up about his father’s legacy in the Chicano movement, his own transformation through faith and education, and how the rhythms of Afro-Cuban jazz sparked his life’s mission. Listeners will hear stories of heartbreak and hope—like the young girl inspired by African drumming who touched hundreds before being placed into foster care, and the resistant boy who found healing through piano.

You’ll also learn how The House of Music operates without a physical location—bringing the gift of music straight to the students where they are, and why support from donors and sponsors is crucial to keeping this dream alive.
