Dinka (born Tamara Hunkeler on 24 June;[2] also known as Tamara Maria Kler) is a Swiss DJ from Lucerne.[3] She performs progressive house music with elements of world music,[1][4] which she describes as "Multicultural Dance Music".[5]
After coming in contact with Above & Beyond, who appreciated her music, Tamara signed with their label, Anjunabeats.[5] She also earned a deal with A State of Trance, a subsidiary of Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren's Armada Music.[2] On September 2012, she reached #2 at the Billboard Next Big Sound chart.[6]
Her stage name comes from the Dinka people from South Sudan.[2][4] When asked for the reason she chose such a name, she commented:[2]
| “ | I've been amazed by their story of fighting for their culture. And it seemed to be the right start to connect continents. I want people to be aware of everything happening on this planet. And on a second level to accept and share similarities rather than go crazy about differences. | ” |
