There’s something unmistakable about the energy of a room when Pinky Girl walks in. It isn’t just the stylish persona, the effortless glow or the recognisably warm aura that fills the space. It’s also the soundtrack she carries in her soul, one rooted in decades of good music, family memories and South African spirit. A celebrated reality star, a sought-after DJ, and a woman who’s never shied away from owning her narrative, Pinky Girl is a movement as much as she is a musician.
Born in Pretoria and raised on a solid diet of rhythm, she has always been drawn to music that tells a story. “I always loved music,” she says with a soft laugh. “I grew up listening to great music from my family, my parents, uncle and aunt. Then came the friends, the parties, the dancing… all of that shaped me. That’s how Pinkstar happened.” The Pinkstar, her signature DJ identity, wasn’t just a nickname, it was a declaration. A reminder that women in music, especially house music, could command the dancefloor just as powerfully and gracefully as anyone else.
As a South African, Pinky Girl understands the cultural heartbeat that music holds. “We love good music and good vibes,” she says proudly. But being a DJ isn’t just about pressing play. Her sets are intentional, intuitive, and personal. “I check out the vibe of the event I’m invited to. I try to understand the mood that’s been curated, and then I match that energy with the music. It all starts with the mood you want to share with the audience.” And what a mood that is, warm, bold, and bursting with groove.
Over the years, she’s played at numerous venues, but there are moments that remain unforgettable. “My big moment was playing at brand events with popular DJs. That exposure taught me the skill of understanding a crowd, reading the energy, and holding it. I learned a lot just by watching and sharing stages.” For Pinky Girl, learning is a constant part of the journey. Every new gig, especially international ones, is a classroom. She doesn’t approach the craft with ego, she approaches it with openness.
Despite her rising popularity, she remains grounded in values that matter deeply to her: connection, authenticity, and love. “Life is about balance,” she explains. “I started taking DJing seriously because I wanted to meet my supporters, my fans. I’m an introvert by nature, and I love my family. But when I see people who show me genuine love and interest, it means everything.” For her, DJing became more than a profession, it became a medium of intimacy, a way to bridge her private world with the one that celebrates her.
Much of that connection has been cultivated on social media. “Everything starts with social media,” she says matter-of-factly. “Understanding your supporters and fans, it’s all there. Instagram helps a lot, especially when you post consistently.” Then she pauses, smiling, “I haven’t been posting a lot lately though. I need to work on that. But that’s the starting point for interacting with the people who love your music.”
Her love for house music isn’t performative, it’s deeply emotional. “There’s a song that ignites me so much, it’s called ‘Moments’ by Musaria featuring Saturna, the Atjazz mix.” Her eyes light up as she talks about it. “It’s old school house, from my high school days, but it still hits like the first time. That’s the thing about good music, it never dies.” For Pinky Girl, house music isn’t a genre; it’s a feeling. It’s a history, a future, and an ever-beating present.
When asked about her most memorable performance, she doesn’t hesitate. “The BNG party. That was it. My cousin was launching her MCC wine in cans and I played in Pretoria, my hometown. The crowd was incredible. Everyone was so happy to see me perform. It felt like home, but elevated.” That performance, rich in emotion and hometown pride, became a pivotal moment. It wasn’t just about the music, it was about roots, family, legacy, and evolution.
And it’s not just special occasions that light her up. “It’s all about good vibes and good energy,” she says with sincerity. “Enjoying every moment. Music is a spirit enhancer. As long as the music sounds good and the people serve good energy, then I’m good.” For Pinky Girl, energy exchange is sacred. Each set is less about showmanship and more about shared vibration. A communion between DJ and dance floor.
She laughs when asked how she finds her tribe. “Music connects people. You’ll find your people through people. Good people. The moment I start vibing to good music at a party, I know I’m about to meet someone special.” That optimism isn’t naïve, it’s a result of years spent watching how music bridges strangers, heals wounds, and builds communities.
Looking ahead, she’s not slowing down. “I’m planning on releasing my own songs,” she reveals with excitement. “Producing soulful house sounds that vibrate my energy.” Her intention is clear, she’s not just spinning other people’s beats anymore. She’s crafting her own sonic signature. “I want to travel internationally, perform my own music. Soulful, old school house, that’s what I love.”
Her creative process, she admits, is still unfolding. Production is a new chapter, but she’s ready. “When you’re passionate about something, you figure it out. I’m learning how to translate the feelings inside into sound, something that resonates not just with me, but with the people who’ve supported me all this time.”
What makes her journey compelling isn’t just her sound, but her spirit. Pinky Girl is emblematic of a new generation of women in music, ones who aren’t afraid to evolve, to be vulnerable, to be bold. She doesn’t posture or pretend. She simply exists, as she is. And in a world that often demands women be one thing or another, that’s revolutionary.
Her journey is still unfolding, but it’s clear she’s moving in rhythm with her truth. She’s not here to mimic trends or chase validation. She’s here to feel, to heal, to connect, and to create. “Everything I do is about love and intention,” she says finally. “If it doesn’t feel right, I don’t do it. That’s my rule, on and off the decks.”
In a soundscape that’s always shifting, Pinky Girl remains remarkably rooted. In soulful house. In honest energy. And most of all, in the community that continues to dance with her, beat after beat.
