Rhythms, Roots & Realness: Cassandra Shankman on Connection Through Sound
In this episode of Unscripted with Karishma Patel, I’m joined by the magnetic and multi-talented DJ Cassandra Shankman: a sound curator, community builder, and Austin’s Best DJ (yes, she won the title!). Cassandra is a creative force in the city’s music scene, and in this convo, we dive into her journey, what it really means to create a vibe, and how music has always been a bridge between her identity, community, and purpose.
She shares how she found her voice through sound, what inspires her sets, and why creating inclusive, intentional spaces through music matters now more than ever. From live events to personal growth, this conversation is about honoring your roots, trusting your rhythm, and showing up with realness, on and off the stage.
In this episode:
- How Cassandra got started as a DJ and found her signature sound
- What it meant to be named Austin’s Best DJ
- The emotional power of music and its role in storytelling
- Creating inclusive spaces through intention and energy
- Navigating identity, creativity, and authenticity in male-dominated spaces
- What connection through sound really looks like and why it matters
Whether you’re into music, energy, or stories that move you. This one will leave you feeling inspired to turn the volume up on your own path.
