Our Story
Established in 2002 by Ashe Narayan, POP Studio featured the first soundproofed practice studio in Singapore dedicated to DJs. Over time, the requests for DJ lessons increased and POP Studio DJ was born. The jamming studio expanded into a place of education for local and regionally DJs to practice and expand their knowledge. With increased demand for performances and talent, the school formed Knight Out to manage events, collaborations and DJ bookings for potential students. Always at the cutting edge of the evolution of music, the school added electronic music production courses to the arsenal of academic options available to students.
