Los Angeles Magazine Presents the 2026 L.A. Woman List
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
Thriving as a full-time DJ in L.A. for over
20 years! In a city that has historically supported the next and newest, it’s been a huge feat to consistently spin at this level.
WHICH WOMEN IN L.A. HAVE INSPIRED YOU?
I’m fiercely inspired by entrepreneurs, activists and those raising the spiritual vibe in our city. Especially the women who are elevating the Hollywood entertainment or DJ worlds and those using their platforms to make the world a better place — the true believers in what L.A. is and can be!
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
My gigs include events around the Super Bowl, The Actor Awards, the Oscars, Europe and a few premieres. I’ll continue elevating my artist booking firm of 10+ years, Nona Entertainment, by working with the most talented DJs and non-DJ musicians in the city. This is a time to see our city shine again with major events after a rough five years.
In a recent milestone, Pesce summited Mount Kilimanjaro alongside fellow female entrepreneurs from Vital Voices and EY Winning Women. Yet Pesce remains most energized by firsts—those rare, exhilarating moments that still give her butterflies after decades behind the decks.
Rooted in her adopted hometown of Los Angeles, Pesce continues to fuel connection, creativity and collaboration. “Whenever I land back in the city, I feel like I am home and can recharge,” she says. “This city grounds me.” Each day, she proves that in music and in leadership, women can raise the bar together.
