“Having worked closely with Shannon for the past 6-7 years and witnessed his remarkable ascent in both the domestic and international scenes, it has been a true privilege to observe his journey. Over the last decade, Shannon has emerged as one of the most talented, passionate, and determined artists and DJs. Not only is Shannon an exceptional technical DJ with an unmatched sense of the music, but he also deeply values community, people, and hard work. His ability to read a crowd and create an electric atmosphere both on and off the dance floor is a testament to his dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon as a DJ and mentor to any aspiring DJs who want to master the craft with respect and integrity.”
