Brought together at the end of their study for the global graduation ceremony there are many opportunities for future collaboration and partnerships.
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.
Charlotte Adelle graduated from Abbey Road Institute Melbourne in 2017 and has now established herself as a standout vocal producer, producer and songwriter on the rise. In early 2018, she started to work at Studios 301 alongside senior engineer Simon Cohen (Justin Bieber, Starley, Thelma Plum, Illy) as his vocal assistant.
In a recent Alumni interview, Charlotte said “If you have a good can-do attitude… then you can achieve anything.” That attitude has shone through and supported her advances at 301. She collaborates with local Sydney artists as a writer, producer and engineer. Charlotte is using her platform to encourage other young people in her field to create a strong and safe community.
When she’s not collaborating with incredible Australian artists, she’s working on her own material as a singer/songwriter. She records her stunning voice and publishes the videos on Youtube and Instagram. Consequently, she is well on her way to becoming a name in the Australian music scene.

He also completed an internship at Audioscope studios, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris whilst he was studying with us. The experience turned out to be very constructive as a few days after the end of his training Raphaël was hired as an assistant at the famous studio. Find out more about Raphael here.
