The David's Harp Foundation

Mission: To inspire, educate and empower system affect and homeless youth to achieve academic success through music education, sound engineering and multimedia production.

Founder Brandon Steppe opened his private converted garage studio up to neighborhood youth who were lacking support and motivation, both personally and academically.  He developed an informal program that allowed students to trade grades for studio time forming the basis for David’s Harp.  After witnessing the motivating power of music production in his student’s academic achievement, Brandon sought and received federal 501(c)(3) non-profit stratus in 2009.  Brandon has worked in the music industry since 2005 producing, mixing and mastering countless albums, radio and corporate recording.  Under his leadership, the David’s Harp Foundation is poised to grow their influence further into the San Diego community and beyond.
