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 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.

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.
