Dj Rink Biography

DJ Rink (real name Snehal Shah), known professionally as Rinku or DJ Rink, is an Indian disc jockey from Gujarat. Trained in sound engineering and mentored

Early life and background

Snehal Shah, who performs as DJ Rink and is sometimes called Rinku, was born on 19 September 1983 in Gujarat. She grew up in a Gujarati family and pursued formal studies in commerce and business management in Mumbai. Her education includes a master’s degree in commerce from Mithibai College and a diploma in business management from Welingkar Institute. She also completed a course in sound engineering at the Institute of Government Polytechnic in Bandra.

Career

Rink’s entry into DJing came after a period working in marketing. Her first public turn on the decks happened at a party when the resident DJ declined to play a requested track and invited her to take over. That experience, combined with an ongoing habit of collecting music from DJs she met, led her to pursue the craft professionally. She trained with established names in the Indian DJ scene, including Joe Azeredo and Suketu, and gained additional practical experience by training at a club before performing regularly.

Her work spans multiple electronic styles, with knowledge of EDM, hip-hop and bhangra. Rink has produced Bollywood remix albums, releasing Lady Architect in 2008 and Desi Diva DJ Rink in 2011. She has been associated with music labels such as Saregama and Sony Music for remix projects and event sets.

Internationally, she achieved a ranking of No. 43 in Djanemag’s list of the world’s top 100 female DJs. In 2018 she won the Best Female DJ award at the Waah Women Awards, and in November 2021 she was a TEDx speaker at TEDx KIET.

Public profile

Rink presents herself as an artist who transitioned from the corporate world into music, and she has spoken publicly about the evolving role of women in DJing.
