Felipe Wurst  is a Brooklyn-based music producer, composer and studio guitarist/ bass player originally from Lima, Peru. He is a versatile player who focuses on groove-oriented popular music genres and analog recording techniques. As a guitarist he has performed with groups including: Tipa Tipo, La Mecanica Popular, La Lá, Jachary, the New York Times-praised Momenta String Quartet, DJ Mel DeBarge, Missy Elliot’s “Road To Stardom” winner Jessica Betts and the Grammy-nominated Latin sensation Bareto. He has played at notable venues including the Apollo Theater, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, National Sawdust, Rough Trade Brooklyn & BAM, among others.

His latest commercial release was Tipa Tipo’s 2024 album “Cintas” - a collaboration with music producer Adele Fournet, a sonic exploration of the blend of South & North American musical languages, where the duo fuses the spirit of '70s soft rock and disco with latin rhythms to create their fresh take on tropical yacht rock. Tipa Tipo has garnered media attention from outlets like Rolling Stone Español and Paste Magazine, a position on one of Apple’s top playlists called the “Comfort Zone’, and rotation play on the radio stations KEXP and KCSN, WFUV, and WXPN (World Café from NPR). Their single “Voy Por Ella'' was recently featured on the Mexican TV series “Soy Tu Fan.”  Chris Sanley, music director of KEXP, writes of the band: “The band’s fusion of both retro and contemporary cumbia, disco and soft rock while incorporating sounds from South and North America results in spellbinding rhythms, infectious pop hooks and endless grooves.”

Felipe works out of their recording studio in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. He is bilingual in English and Spanish.
