I've had SO much fun working with Virgin Voyages over the past year. What started as another exciting DJ opportunity has turned into one of my favorite parts of my career: traveling to incredible destinations, meeting people from all over the world, and getting to soundtrack everyone's vacation along the way.

And the best part? I'm not done yet.

Yes, I'm ringing in the New Year on a Virgin Voyages ship in the middle of the ocean.

I honestly can't think of a better way to start 2027.

So, How Did I End Up Here?

When I first started working with Virgin Voyages, I knew it would be different from the events I was used to playing.

My career as DJ ShanLynn has taken me everywhere from corporate events and brand activations to weddings, private parties and major events for companies like Ferrari, Balmain and Mercedes-Benz. But working on a ship introduced me to an entirely different kind of DJ experience.

Instead of playing one event and going home, I get to spend weeks surrounded by music, travel, nightlife and people from all over the world.

And my office has an ocean view.

Not exactly a bad commute.

What It's Like to DJ at Sea

One of my favorite things about Virgin Voyages is the energy.

It doesn't feel like the traditional cruise experience I had imagined growing up. There's a younger, more modern, playful atmosphere, and as a DJ, I get to be part of that.

Depending on the sailing, you might find me playing a sunset set, getting people dancing, setting the soundtrack for a pool day, or keeping the party going late into the night.

Every sailing is different because every group of passengers is different.

Sometimes I meet someone who has traveled halfway around the world and we end up having a conversation I'll remember long after the ship docks.

Those are the moments that make this job so special.

And Then There's the Travel

The obvious perk is that I get to see some pretty incredible places while I'm working.

Bimini has become a regular part of my life at this point. I've explored Key West, Puerto Plata, Grand Turk, Costa Maya and more, and there are still so many places I want to experience.

There's something surreal about waking up in a new country, spending the day exploring, and then getting back on the ship to play music that night.

It's basically the ultimate combination of two things I love most: music and travel.

Come Find Me on Board

So if you've been thinking about booking a Virgin Voyages sailing, maybe this is your sign.

Check the dates above, grab your friends, book the trip, and come find me on the dance floor.

I'd absolutely love to see some familiar faces out there.

And if you're already booked on one of my sailings — come say hi!

I'll be the one behind the decks, somewhere between the ocean and the dance floor.

See you at sea. 🌊🎧

Traveling this year started with two months sailing with @virginvoyages through the Caribbean, South America, Mexico, and the Bahamas.
I played sets across multiple sailings while traveling to ports including Curaçao, Aruba, Colombia, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, and more.
Between beach days, Scarlet Night, crew parties, and life on board, it was an incredible few months of music and travel.
Excited for upcoming summer sailings ⚓️ 

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

📍 Jonathan Club, Downtown Los Angeles
🎶 Studio 54 / Disco Floor – 70s & 80s Set by DJ ShanLynn

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!

Book your event today. :)
