Besa Gordon is a Seattle-born and raised influencer/on-air radio personality at iHeart Radio. She got her start in radio back in 2018 on KUBE 93.3 in Seattle, Washington as an overnight jock. Three years later, she took over the midday slot on KUBE 93.3, and can now also be heard on HITS 106.1 in Seattle, JAM’N 107.5 in Portland, B95 in Fresno, California, V101 in Sacramento California, and 102.3 The Beat in Austin Texas.
When Besa isn't on the radio she's being a voice for Pacific Northwest artists as she is now on the Governor's board for the PNW Chapter of the Recording Academy. Besa also hosts a weekly pop-culture show on Converge Media called the Rewind with Besa in which Besa discusses the biggest issues of the day in music, local events, fashion, and lifestyle while also uplifting and interviewing recording artists from the Pacific Northwest.
With the current influence within the community Besa has gained over the years, her goal is to create new and fresh energy that everyone within the PNW music and entertainment community can enjoy. From her media mixers where she connects local influencers, people in the entertainment industry, and business owners together in a way that not only allows them to network, but learn about marketing, moving in the industry, gaining sponsorships, and more from her diverse panels that occur during the mixers. To her brunches, day parties, and soon-to-come concerts/festivals, it's safe to say Besa is just getting started when it comes to leaving her footprint here in the Pacific Northwest.
Internationally known for her innate ability to choose the right song for the right moment and her crowd-pleasing eclectic ear; Lady CoCo an experienced and well-seasoned DJ, with a true passion for her craft, has played crowds from continent to continent. Originally from Seattle, WA, Lady CoCo began her DJ career under the guidance of local and internationally known veteran DJ, Supreme La Rock. Spinning only vinyl in her beginning years helped her in developing a truly unique skill set and appreciation for music, providing the foundation for her later successes. In 2017, Lady CoCo kicked off her international career with a New Year's Eve performance in The Kingdom of Bahrain at Cavallo Club. At the start of 2018, she moved to Bahrain as a resident DJ, holding residencies at several local high known establishments. In 2019, she worked as a resident DJ and music curator in Qatar before her residencies in the Maldives in 2020 and 2021.
Having opened for well-known artists such as Kid Ink, Tyga, O.T Genisis, Youth Thug, Keri Hilson, and more; Lady CoCo truly defines versatility and the open format concept with her ability to mix between a multitude of genres, some being: Disco, Funk, Boogie, Jazz, Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Afrobeat, Reggae and House.
Through continued growth and creative expression, Lady CoCo continues to apply her worldly music knowledge to her craft on an international level, striving to create a memorable listening experience.
Bringing two women-led events together.
After the pandemic hit Besa Gordon had to bring Seattle Media Mixers to a close until now. While catching up at Seattle's Communion restaurant, Lady Coco mentioned she hosts/DJs "Something Real" every Tuesday at Gold Bar Seattle, a night for R&B lovers.
It didn't take long for them to realize they both love R&B and bringing people together for a night of connections and great energy. By the end of them catching up, it was a no-brainer for these two powerhouses to come together and create the "Real Seattle Media Mixer," which now happens every 3rd Tuesday at Gold Bar Seattle.

BIO: Fresh from Los Angeles, Christian Gray Snow recently switched his career path and took a move to the Pacific Northwest. The one thing that’s NOT changing though? His social media presence with nearly 40,000 followers, all dedicated to the pop culture phenomenon that is the Real Housewives franchise. With years of digital media experience for major talk shows and, now, a radio show too, Christian has fused the skillsets developed from years of being on television sets with his natural passion for all-things celebrity and pop culture to establish this unique, quirky online community and his podcast, The Slut Pig Pod, regularly featured in the Top 150 TV & Film Pods on Apple Podcasts. Christian’s mantra: if you aren’t having fun making your social content, your followers aren’t going to have fun engaging with it.
