Luis Felber Facts
- Born to a Peruvian mother and a British father in England, Luis had spent most of his early years in Peru and Chile before moving back to the UK when he was 7 years old.
- His middle name Atahualpa was given to him by his mother after the 16th-century king Atahualpa, one of the last rulers of the Inca Empire, the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. His brother had also received the middle name Tupaq to reflect the other remaining ruler in what is now known as Peru.
- In his teens, he was a highly talented guitarist and had participated in several local bands. By the age of 17, he had decided that he would pursue a career in music. When he had started touring, in his 20s, he had become addicted to alcohol and had undergone therapy for the same in 2017.
- He had once co-written a song with the legendary English musician Mick Jagger which was later featured on the 2016 crime/period drama TV series, Vinyl. Mick was one of the co-creators of that TV series.
- In 2020, he had started recording and performing solo under the name Attawalpa, a modified version of his middle name. His first release was an EP titled Spells.
- In 2021, he had released his debut solo studio album titled Patterns. It had consisted of 5 songs that were released throughout the pandemic. His wife, Lena Dunham, had directed the music video for one of those songs titled Tucked in Tight.
- They had filmed the video on an iPhone in the English countryside. The couple had later started working on a soundtrack for a film called Catherine, Called Birdy, and had begun writing a script that was loosely based on their relationship.
