Dinky was born in Santiago de Chile in the year 1975. As a kid, Alejandra was fascinated by music enjoyed playing the piano more than anything else. She trained in modern and classical dance since starting with 12 years of age. In her dance career she learned to work and share with musicians and dancers, joined small companies, taught, choreographed, and danced for a Peter Gabriels concert in Chile. Dance gave her a strong ground for composition, phrasing and improvisation.
As a teenager she was inspired by bands like Cocteau Twins, Daf, Depeche Mode, Human League, The Cramps and Madonna. Thanks to her oldest sister who was living in Berlin in the late eighties, she got introduded to electronic music at an early stage. In 1995 she decided to visit her sister in Berlin, that trip was the beginning of her devotion to electronic music, clubbing, and her decision to became a DJ. In Berlin, she went to clubs such E-Werk ,Tresor and listened to Hell, Sven Vath and Stacey Pullen spin. Dinky was fascinated by the euphoria of the people, the energy on the dancefloor and the power of music. She sensed a close connection to the dance world she was already familiar with.
During those days she bought her first records in Hardwax and got her first promos from of DJ Hell....Plastikman, Carl Craig, Daniel Bell, Dj Pierre, ESG, Arthur Russel, LFO etc ...It was always between Techno and House, Chicago and Detroit, bleeps, clonks and acid stuff, but up till this day she is open to any kind of music wich she likes.
Back to Chile, Alejandra asked a friend to teach her how to mix and decided to start DJing. Within a couple of months she was already playing out, some of her experiences were a bit of a disaster but Dinky wasn’t one to give up easily.
It was during those Chilean parties where she met and became friends with musicans such as Atom Heart, Marcus Nikolai, Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Sieg Uber Die Sonne and Sun Electric -all of them a very important influence for her as an artist.
