Bloomingdale’s invited me to DJ in-store for several “shop & sip” style events, and let me tell you — it was a blast. 

One of the most special moments was a private shopping experience hosted to benefit No Kid Hungry. For those who don’t know, No Kid Hungry is a national campaign under Share Our Strength, dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America. 

Their mission is big but simple: ensure every child has access to three healthy meals every day. 

They support this through grants, partnerships with schools, and by advocating for broader food-access policies. 

In 2024, they spent 58% of their budget on programmatic work — meaning real food, real help, real impact. 

By partnering with Bloomingdale’s on this event, we weren’t just curating a shopping experience, we were helping raise awareness and funds to feed children who might otherwise go hungry. It’s moments like these that remind me why music has power beyond the dance floor.

Thank you to ArtCenter College of Design for having me be part of such an inspiring weekend. I DJ’d the Alumni Reunion rooftop social and the Alumni Awards Dinner, both celebrating the talented artists and designers who came out of ArtCenter.

The rooftop party was a blast, but the Awards Dinner was truly special. Hearing alumni talk about how they built their careers, followed their dreams, overcame challenges, and went on to create work that impacts communities and inspires younger generations of artists really stayed with me.

It was a very cool event, and I was genuinely grateful to provide the music for it.

This past weekend, I had the honor of DJing once again for the HerToo Breast Cancer Night of Hope Gala at the beautiful Beverly Hills Hotel.

This event means a lot to me personally — I have family members who’ve survived cancer, and every time I play this gala, I’m reminded of how powerful music can be in bringing people together for a cause that truly matters.

HerToo’s mission is to provide financial assistance and resources to women affected by breast cancer. Leyna Topete, the founder, is one of those rare people whose kindness and dedication light up a room. I’m always in awe of the work she and her team do.

The ballroom was filled with energy, hope, and community — and being able to set the soundtrack to such a heartfelt evening was an absolute honor.

This year’s Sora Social Club Halloween Party at Figueroa8 was one for the books! I channeled my inner Texan cowgirl behind the decks and kept the dance floor moving all night long. The Downtown LA skyline made the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening filled with great people, costumes, and music.

It’s always a pleasure working with this crew — thank you again to Figueroa8 for hosting such an incredible event!

If you’re looking to bring the same energy to your next corporate event, holiday party, or private celebration, I’d love to make it happen.

A few weeks ago, I had the incredible honor of DJing the Jonathan Club’s Centennial Celebration in Downtown Los Angeles. The event marked 100 years of Jonathan Club’s history in DTLA — and what better way to celebrate than with music from every decade?

Each floor of the venue was transformed into a different era, with guests traveling through time as they moved between rooms. I was lucky enough to curate and perform on the Studio 54 / Disco floor, bringing the spirit of the 1970s and 1980s to life through the timeless sounds of disco and funk.

It was such a full-circle moment for me. I’ve had a deep love of disco since I was a teenager — back when I used to force my sisters to listen to my disco playlists in the car! Getting to share that same passion in such a stunning, high-energy setting felt incredibly special.

From glittering lights to bell-bottom energy, the night captured everything that makes disco so joyful: connection, freedom, and the magic of the dance floor.

Huge thank you to the Jonathan Club team for having me as part of this milestone event and trusting me to represent one of the most iconic eras in music. Here’s to another century of unforgettable nights in Los Angeles! @prismdjs

Last month, I had the amazing opportunity to DJ at Sora, on the 41st floor of Figueroa Eight in downtown Los Angeles. Over the course of two incredible events, I got to experience this stunning venue from every angle — the skyline views are absolutely unreal!

Performing for the members at this exclusive, members-only club was such a blast. The energy in the room was electric, and it was so much fun connecting with a crowd that truly appreciates the music. Sora perfectly balances a luxurious, high-end vibe with an intimate, energetic atmosphere.

I loved curating sets that matched the venue’s elevated energy — from chill, sunset moments to upbeat tracks that had everyone moving. Playing in a space like this reminds me why I love being a DJ: sharing music in settings that inspire, energize, and bring people together.

Huge thanks to Sora at Figueroa Eight for having me out — it was two nights of amazing vibes high above the city! Can’t wait to be back.

This past weekend I had the chance to DJ Rivian’s Grand Opening Friends & Family event in Brea, and it was such a unique experience. The atmosphere was electric (literally!) with music, community, and the excitement of a brand-new space coming to life.

The highlight for me? My entire DJ set was powered by a Rivian truck. As someone who spends a lot of time around sound systems and gear, it blew my mind to plug directly into an electric vehicle and have it run my whole setup seamlessly. I couldn’t help but think… I might need one of these so I can DJ anywhere, anytime 🚙🎶.

Beyond the technical novelty, what stood out most was the people. Friends, family, and the Rivian team gathered to celebrate innovation, design, and a shared vision for the future of driving. It felt good to be part of that energy and contribute a soundtrack to the evening.

Events like this remind me why I love what I do: every set has its own story, and sometimes it’s about more than just the music—it’s about connection, creativity, and memorable moments that surprise you.

Looking forward to more events like these. 

Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! 🍂✨ Whether you’re planning a cozy fall gathering, a festive holiday party, or a corporate event, your girl DJ ShanLynn is ready to bring the beats, energy, and unforgettable moments.

I get booked up fast for the holidays, so don’t wait — secure your spot now and let’s make your next event one to remember!

Today I’m playing at one of my favorite events of the season — the ArtCenter Spring Graduation Show!
It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by so much creativity and talent. The show is open to the public, and I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. You’ll get to experience the incredible work of the graduating students across a range of disciplines — from fine art to design, illustration, photography, and beyond.
ArtCenter has such a rich legacy of producing some of the most innovative artists and designers out there, and it's amazing to see the next generation stepping into their own. I'm honored to be providing the music for such a special day of celebration and creativity.
Come by, soak in the art, and support these talented graduates as they begin their next chapter!

About a month ago, I had the privilege of attending a truly meaningful event at the ArtCenter College of Design's Mullin Transportation Design Center in Pasadena. It was a powerful evening of community and connection, centered around a fundraiser supporting wildfire recovery efforts after the Eaton Canyon fires — a natural disaster that impacted many, including beloved local businesses and members of the ArtCenter community.

The event was created and organized by ISS A/S and Guckenheimer, and brought together artists, chefs, and supporters to raise over $100,000 for rebuilding efforts. It featured both silent and live auctions, all with the purpose of helping those affected get back on their feet.

At the heart of the evening was an unforgettable culinary experience led by three incredible women: Chef Amanda Freitag (@chefamandaf), known from Chopped and Iron Chef America; Chef Paola Guasp, owner of @amarakitchen; and Ms. Barbara Shay, owner of @thelittleredhencoffeeshop. Their food wasn’t just delicious — it carried the spirit of restoration and resilience, created with so much care and intention.

The energy in the room was heartfelt and reflective. We were reminded of the idea that out of destruction, transformation can occur — a concept echoed in the reflections shared by speakers that evening.

One of the most impactful moments of the night was seeing how many people came together to support not just a cause, but each other. The generosity of @ikeausa, who committed to re-furnishing workspaces lost in the fires, was a powerful example of corporate giving done right.

While it may have taken me a minute to post this, the impact of that night still resonates. It was more than a fundraiser — it was a celebration of resilience, the power of community, and the healing force of shared experience.

To everyone who contributed, showed up, or helped organize: thank you. It was an honor to be there.
