Biography
A Belgian musician born in Brussels in June 1996, Nala Sinephro came into contact with instrumental music at a very early age, thanks to her mother, a piano teacher, and her father, a saxophonist of West Indian origin. After learning to play the violin, she took up the harp and abandoned her biochemistry studies to study music at university. She continued her jazz training at Boston's Berklee School of Music before finding a job as a sound engineer, then moving to London where, between courses, she played with the Stream Down collective and worked for Robert Ames' London Contemporary Orchestra. With a wealth of experience in keyboards, synthesizers and modulators, programming and production, Nala Sinephro composed the material for her debut album Space 1.8, recorded in London with musicians Nubya Garcia, James Mollison, Jake Long, Twn Dylan and Dwayne Kilvington aka Wonky Logic. Released by electronic music specialist Warp Records in 2021, Space 1.8 follows an EP recorded live at Peter Gabriel's studios with Kilvington and drummer Eddie Hick, Live at Real World Studios. The second album, Endlessness, released in 2024, features ten numbered themes under the heading "Continuum". Recorded with previous partners and other musicians such as Sheila Maurice-Grey, Morgan Simpson, Lyle Barton and the Orchestrate ensemble, it reached No. 1 in the UK jazz and blues charts. In 2025, she joined forces with the same orchestra and her Space 1.8 partners for the soundtrack to The Smashing Machine, a biopic about MMA champion Mark Kerr.
