ABBY KOEPF

Loftside Studios was one of the things that made me wanna go to Valor, seeing the studio the summer before my freshman year drew me in. Now being able to work in it with the incredible staff often, I’ve very happy with my decision to come to Valor and pursue songwriting.

Valor has allowed me to find my identity in music and learn a new way to embrace myself. My experience at Loftside has genuinely transformed my music for the better.
