Dinky was born in Santiago, Chile. As Alejandra Del Pilar Iglesias Rivera and was named Dinky by her sister at birth. It was in New York, where she had moved in the mid '90s that Dinky's music career began to take off, as she immersed herself in the city's vital underground scene of the day. As well as being involved in the Dance scene she also got into the NY Club scene, discovering American house and Detroit techno, polishing her DJing and soon making a name in the underground scene. It was 1994, when Dinky met Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack, Atom Heart, Luciano and many other musicians that where somehow related to Chile, listening to them she got deeply fascinated by this movement. She was only a teenager when she first learned how to mix records but nevertheless, was soon being exposed to big crowds in Chile. In 2003, she moved to Berlin where she currently holds the honour of being a long standing resident at Panorama Bar (since 2004). Her last studio album "Anemik" was listed in the Top 20 albums of the year in Resident Advisor (2010). Given the context, her new album, that will be coming out this summer should prove to be one of the most ambitious records released in 2013.
