Pinkney was born in Manchester Parish, Jamaica, moving to Kingston as a youth.〔Larkin, Colin (1998) ''The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae'', Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0242-9, p.224〕〔Moskowitz, David V. (2006) ''Caribbean Music: an Encyclopedia of Reggae, Mento, Ska, Rock Steady, and Dancehall'', Greenwood Press, ISBN 0-313-33158-8, p.236〕 In the mid-1960s he formed The Sharks as guitarist, the band recording for Studio One and backing The Wailers on their 1965 Jamaican hit single "Put It On", also providing backing for recordings by Ken Boothe and The Gaylads.〔〔 One of Pinkney's most successful songs, written in 1967 while a member of The Sharks, is "How Could I Live", which was originally released as the b-side of Jeff Dixon and Marcia Griffiths' "Words" single, and has since been recorded by artists including Myrna Hague, The Heptones, Richie Stephens, George Nooks, and Dennis Brown (as "How Could I Leave").〔Walters, Basil (2005) "(Dwight Pinkney and How Could I Live: Behind the Song )", ''Jamaica Observer'', 12 April 2005〕〔Cooke, Mel (2007) "(STORY OF THE SONG: Guitarist plucks heartstrings with 'How Could I Live' )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 9 September 2007〕 Pinkney moved on to work with Zap Pow in 1969, a band with members including Beres Hammond, David Madden, and Glen DaCosta.〔 Zap Pow recorded two albums and their best-known song, "This is Reggae Music", was co-written by Pinkney.〔 In the mid-1970s, Pinkney put his recording career on hold to attend the Jamaican School of Music, undertaking a course in Afro-American music, and studying arranging, and later taking on a teaching role.〔 Pinkney's 1979 arrangement of The Astronauts' Festival Song Competition-winning "Born Jamaican" won him a Guinness Jamaica award, and he returned once again to recording.〔
In the early 1980s he joined the Roots Radics, replacing Sowell Radics, and he also worked on dozens of albums by artists including Barry Brown, Bunny Wailer, Culture, Frankie Paul, The Itals, Yellowman, and Gregory Isaacs.
In 1999 he released his debut solo album, the award winning ''Jamaican Memories by the Score'', which includes an updated version of "How Could I Live".〔〔 Further albums followed in 2000 and 2002.〔 In 2004 he contributed to the album ''Is it Rolling Bob? A Reggae Tribute to Bob Dylan''.〔Woodcraft, Molloy (2004) "(Dub on the tracks )", ''The Observer'', 15 August 2004〕 In 2008 he released an album of instrumental versions of Bob Marley songs, ''Dwight Pinkney Picks Marley Melodies''.〔Cooke, Mel (2008) "(Pinkney 'picks' through personal Marley memories )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 29 June 2008〕
In 2000, he formed a new band, the Distinguished Personalities Band (aka the DP Band) along with Keith Francis and Earl Fitzsimmons.〔Cooke, Mel (2005) "(A 'Distinguished Personality' )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 4 September 2005〕
In 2012 he released ''Dwight Pinkney and D.P. Band Plays the Ventures+ Jamaican Style'', an album of instrumentals featuring reggae versions of surf instrumentals and film and television themes.〔Campbell, Howard (2012) "(Pinkney strums up nod on Grammy draft list )", ''Jamaica Observer'', 16 November 2012. Retrieved 17 November 2012〕 It was included in the provisional list of 50 albums in contention for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.〔
Pinkney has also appeared in the films ''Smile Orange'', ''Land of Look Behind'', and ''Holyland''.
