I can tell you being in a band with the offspring of a famous musician points to accomplished grifter status. I can’t power level too much but let’s just say it’s a cliche that once someone with a small amount of “promise” in the music industry doesn’t find success the next move it to attach to the vanity projects of the untalented kids the rich-famous or washed up celebs. It’s for the “musicians” who have always made “fame” their top priority, not music."Luis is a singer, song-writer, producer and musician. He’s a multi-instrumentalist whose incredible performances with Jamie-T, Turbogeist, Emma Chitty, Delilah Holiday, Suki Waterhouse and numerous others have rocked venues around the world. "
Jamie T is basically the only famous musician on that list, and he's famous for one song from 15 years ago. Suki Waterhouse is a model who makes music as a vanity project and has never charted. Turbogeist was the band Luis was in about 10 years ago, and that never got anywhere despite also including Mick Jagger's son.
Luis Felber did help found the Young Turks, which went on to become a genuinely well regarded record label, but at the time he was involved it seems it was still just a club night/illegal rave. He's also trying to launch himself as a solo artist called Attawalpa, although his official twitter account only has 300 followers, 700 likes on facebook and 100 followers on SoundCloud. Going off his bandcamp he also lists collabs with
"artists such as Misty Miller, Jennifer Herrema, Mick Jagger, Lauren Spiteri, Shame, Lokkhi Terra and Jamie T, Attawalpa has decided to step out of obscurity and into the light."
Mick Jagger presumably because he was mates with Mick Jagger's son and Lauren Spiteri is the niece of Sharleen Spiteri from the 90s band Texas. The others are either failed musicians or indie darlings that are well regarded by critics but unheard of.
I'd hazard a guess and say he's either from a pretty privileged background to be mixing with this crowd, or is a professional grifter. I think he's probably also lying about being 32, given that would have made him 15 when Young Turks was founded as a label.
At his age he’s been around the block and probably knows Lena is his best shot at a cushy life on the C-list. He’s had plenty years of banging hot chicks but also having to be a second class citizen gnawing on the scraps of celeb and trust fund crowd. Fucking Lena means he gets to sit at the celeb table. If he can keep his dick in his pant long enough to marry her then can get some side chicks to fuck and have the best of both worlds. If he’s a dedicated grifter he will stick with her until some of her fame and money rubs off on him. Her making a splashy IG announcement about dear beloved boyfriend signals the hustle is on.
