A native from Youngstown, Ohio, Michelle developed a deep love for 80s and 90s hip-hop and pop music at an early age. She nurtured her love for the music and entertainment scene at Wolf-Kasteler, an entertainment PR firm, that served to launch her work as a personal publicist representing some of the top actors and musicians around the globe.
After attending Woodstock ’99, Michelle was enthralled by the energy created when you mix world-class acts and hundreds of thousands of fans to experience the power of music. The three-day festival was the gateway to her interest in DJing. Shortly thereafter, she purchased a set of Technics turntables to teach herself the craft. In 2004, under the mentorship of DJ Spinderella (Salt-n-Pepa), Pesce transitioned from publicity to DJ'ing full-time.
