Luis Delfin Attawalpa Saul Felber (born 9 June 1986)[1] is a British musician.
Born in Winchester, England, to a Peruvian mother and a British father, Felber spent his earliest years in Peru and Chile before moving back to Britain at the age of seven.[2][3] Felber's father is Jewish.[4] Felber began pursuing a career in music, playing guitar with several different bands at age 17.[2]
Career
He is one of the founders of the label and club night Young Turks.[5][3] Felber signed to Luv Luv Luv and performed in a duo called Shuga and was also a member of party band Turbogeist.[3]
Felber used to play with Jamie T and Ben Bones.[5] Felber wrote a song with Mick Jagger that was later featured on the 2016 series, Vinyl, created by Jagger himself, along with Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter.[5]
In 2020, Felber began recording and performing solo under the name Attawalpa (which is his middle name, after the 16th-century Incan ruler Atahualpa).[2][5] He released the debut EP Spells.[3]
In 2021, the album Patterns was released and features five songs released throughout the pandemic.[3] Each comes with its own video. Lena Dunham directed the video for song "Tucked in Tight" and it was filmed on an iPhone in London and the English countryside.[3]
Dunham and Felber worked on the soundtrack for the film Catherine Called Birdy, and are writing a script loosely based on their relationship.[3]

After a mutual friend set them up on a blind date, Felber began dating writer and actress Lena Dunham in January 2021.[6][2][4] In September 2021, Felber married Dunham in a Jewish ceremony in England, wearing a custom blue suede suit designed by Emily Bode.[2]
