Nautica De La Cruz

If you talk to anyone who has spent any time in the Los Angeles area and you ask about Nautica, the response is going to be “De la Cruz?” Among the well-known personalities who have graced the Southern California airwaves, Nautica de la Cruz sits on her disc jockey throne as the recognized voice of midday radio. Having spent nearly 20 years working in every aspect of radio from production to programming, she is now moving from behind the boards, catching the eye of several major television networks. This hip, sassy, and talented Latina has the looks to match the voice! She has been featured on ABC, NBC, TV ONE and VH1 and will continue on her quest to move from the voice to the face of L.A.

Nautica’s career began with a short stint on the Northern California Spanish radio station, KNTA Que Buena, but it really took off after L.A mega station Power 106 heard her English demo tape and hired her as their midday deejay. As she won the hearts of listeners in Southern California, Nautica was wooed away by Power’s rival radio station KKBT, The Beat, to join their morning lineup alongside Hip Hop greats Ed Lover and Dr.Dre.

Nautica moved on to sit at the right hand of actor/comedian/TV host Steve Harvey on the #1 rated Steve Harvey Morning Show, which was in nationwide syndication. As the show producer, traffic reporter, weather reporter and host of Sabor Latino, her vibrant energy and humor helped expand the listener base to move beyond urban audiences. Nautica has earned the respect of her peers and is one of the most referred female radio personalities, able to speak to audiences across a variety of color lines. Now she is honored to work at 102.3fm KJLH, owned by R&B legend Stevie Wonder, where she produces his weekly radio show as well as her own. She brightens up your middays with a bit of Latin culture and Hip Hop flavor and infuses quick-witted humor to spill the celebrity tea on her signature segment, “The Nauti News.”

Staying tenacious through the various transitions in the Los Angeles market has not been easy but her love for connecting with people keeps her fire burning. She loves her audience and the audience gives her that same love in return. Nautica is ambitious, focused on her career and will continue to venture into more television, creating shows, film and being the voice behind many of our favorite narrated shows.

She is a person that is not afraid to take a risk or try something new. This New York native of Puerto Rican, Colombian and Jamaican descent is a Firecracker!! Nautica currently resides in the Los Angeles area with her husband, fellow DJ PJ Butta and her daughter. When she is not in the studio, she enjoys hosting events, home design and health and wellness.

Listen to Nautica de la Cruz on 102.3fm KJLH from 10am - 1pm
