Meet Lena Dunham's boyfriend, Luis Felber

Luis Felber, best known by his stage name Attawalpa, is an English-Peruvian singer-songwriter. The musician was born in London, United Kingdom and is reportedly in his mid-30s.

He previously worked as an event promoter and music consultant for LDA Promotions and Golborne Laylow. His latest single and music video, Yellow Fingers, was released in May.

“They’re both old Peruvian kings. Atahualpa was the mischievous, rebellious one. He was like the last Incan king, so he was basically ruling the empire and trying to fight his brother at the same time.”

Luis Felber gained media attention after his relationship with “Tiny Furniture” creator, Lena Dunham, came to light. The duo sparked dating rumors for the first time after the latter posted a snippet of Felber’s new song on her Instagram.

When I feel sick, my boyfriend makes delicious pasta & rewatches as much BoJack as I want, walks the dog & makes up songs about her face. In January, all I Tweeted about was how men are basically refried beans in human form. What I'm saying is, don't quit before the miracle, kids
