​

Luis Banuelos is a self-taught maestro of Spanish-style guitar whose soulful playing draws from a rich palette of influences — Flamenco, Latin jazz, Hip-Hop, Motown, R&B, Rock, and the evocative melodies of Middle Eastern sitar. He masterfully fuses these elements into his signature sound: Flamenco Fusion — passionate, cinematic, and deeply expressive.

​

With 29 years and over 50,000 hours of devoted practice, Banuelos arrived in Austin on January 11, 2009, and immersed himself in the city’s vibrant music scene. He has built a career defined by authenticity, resilience, and relentless dedication — evolving from open mics and local performances to composing the full score for the Broadway-bound production Picasso in Paris (recently completed). Today, as a full-time professional artist under LBM Productions LLC, he captivates audiences with intimate, high-energy performances that blend technical brilliance with heartfelt storytelling.

​

An Austin-based musician who travels across the United States for intimate and private shows, Luis maintains a beloved Thursday evening residency (7–9pm) at The Betty Cocktail Lounge in Austin, where his elegant Spanish guitar elevates steak-night dinners and special events. He is currently expanding his footprint with new residencies and performances in the DFW / Fort Worth area. He also delivers exclusive private concerts and corporate performances for discerning clients — bringing refined sophistication and infectious passion to private estates, gatherings, and meaningful celebrations.

Rooted in unwavering Christian faith, Luis views music as both a divine gift and a calling. He gives all glory to Jesus, using his platform to inspire hope, beauty, and spiritual reflection.

​

He is currently writing his book Heartstrings: A Memoir of Resilience. Following its release, he will present The Heartstrings Collaborative — a grand orchestral live performance featuring ballet. This immersive musical journey of beauty and emotion transports audiences fully into the present moment, dissolving everyday worries and distractions so listeners can simply be, fully alive through the power of music.
