She is best known for her ambient jazz compositions, where she predominantly plays the pedal harp, modular synthesiser, keyboards, and piano.\n\nSinephro spent her childhood in Belgium, growing up on the outskirts of Brussels, near a forest. Her Belgian mother was a classical piano teacher and her Martiniquan/Guadeloupean father was a jazz saxophonist.\n\nDuring her teenage years, Sinephro developed a tumor in her jaw. The tumor's successful removal influenced a period of hedonistic living, with Sinephro frequenting Brussels-based clubs to seek out hardcore dance music. Initially interested in becoming a biochemist, Sinephro eventually transferred to an arts-based high school which featured a jazz department.\n\nThere, she discovered the harp, which she quickly connected with. In 2025, Sinephro scored the A24 sports drama film, The Smashing Machine, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. https://tinyurl.com/ybeytvk7","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3629311,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3629311/?format=json","airdate":"2026-03-15T15:03:24-07:00","show":66188,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66188/?format=json","image_uri":"https://dn710800.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-e4cef835-f2ac-48df-8407-b38ac4ec9969/mbid-e4cef835-f2ac-48df-8407-b38ac4ec9969-22564414072_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://dn710800.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-e4cef835-f2ac-48df-8407-b38ac4ec9969/mbid-e4cef835-f2ac-48df-8407-b38ac4ec9969-22564414072_thumb250.jpg","song":"Með suð í eyrum","track_id":"72e32a6b-8ad0-34ed-b039-bd02e3b34821","recording_id":"6d4209c2-1022-42cd-af12-4be3779040b5","artist":"Sigur Rós","artist_ids":["f6f2326f-6b25-4170-b89d-e235b25508e8"],"album":"Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust","release_id":"e4cef835-f2ac-48df-8407-b38ac4ec9969","release_group_id":"15143341-de7d-3c64-90a1-2fffe2c4b5a9","labels":["XL Recordings"],"label_ids":["14221f01-8939-4ea0-b8f1-b5a21beae80a"],"release_date":"2008-06-24","rotation_status":"Library","is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"All the lyrics for the album were originally intended to be in English, but in the end the band decided that Icelandic felt more natural to them.
