Your gateway to music and media industry
United POP is the international education division of the music support group, founded in Munich/Germany, in the late eighties. Starting as the Dorian Gray Music Recording Studios, they have since produced music with international artists such as Lang Lang, Joe Cocker, Alanis Morissette, Marit Larsen, Kelly Rowland, and many more.
Based on the knowledge that they gained in the industry, they began offering training and diploma programs for many kinds of professions in music and media under the brand names United POP and Deutsche POP. Today, 21 campuses operate across Europe, Asia, and Australia, schooling more than 6,000 students every year. United POP students are working in the music or media industries, on projects with Shakira, Mario Winans, or the FIFA World Cup.
