Stéphanie Ung completed her training at Abbey Road Institute Paris in 2019. Before studying with us   Stéphanie undertook classical training at the Paris Conservatory where she learned the violin.   She then became interested in writing and composition which allowed her to discover and explore electronic   music. It was her interest in this genre that encouraged her to pursue her studies at Abbey Road Institute Paris   where she developed skills in sound engineering and music production.     Within two months of obtaining her diploma Stéphanie secured an internship at Coppélia Studios. The following   month, she was hired as an assistant and worked on sessions with Youv Eee, 7 Jaws, Yseult, Kungs,   Ben l’oncle Soul and has begun to do sessions as a sound engineer where she has recorded   artist Laetitia Bay.

Before I was at Abbey Road, it was easy to write a song, and get a singer. But the songwriting process doesn’t work like that. It was important to understand vocal production, writing, and music. It should all happen simultaneously.

Joel Robinson, Graduate

Abbey Road really helped me with the foundation of audio. It’s an overwhelming subject at first, but [the course] really breaks it down and really makes it digestible.

Charlotte Adelle, Graduate

The time I spent at Abbey Road Institute helped me transform my skills. I came from a bedroom producer who made music as a hobby to an audio professional.

Phoenix Manson, Graduate

Abbey Road was the perfect stepping stone into my professional career as an artist and audio engineer.

Alex Braithwaite, Graduate

Studying the past year at Abbey Road has been phenomenal. The teaching staff are top notch and I now have a community of people to draw on who are as obsessed with music as me.
