Biography
TOWARDS HAPPINESS
A narrative and cathartic release, Stared at from a Distance (Talitres, 2023) summoned the ghosts of the past. Far from a mere collection of songs, it featured eleven tracks where raw pain and urgency clashed with walls of noise and introspective anthems, an intimate yet universal attempt to overcome trauma.
While much of his audience first discovered him on YouTube (where he now boasts 1.9 million subscribers), Feldup has fully devoted himself to his music for several years. His sold-out 2024-2025 French tour alongside his band, The Showerheads, proved it on stage. From Toulouse to Besançon, and from the Montreux Jazz Festival to Tourcoing, by way of Paris and Lyon, a young, sharp, and deeply grounded audience packed the venues night after night.
Félix Dupuis began writing Towards Happiness in 2023. The album marks a new milestone in his creative process: not only did he step into a proper recording studio for the first time (Amaury Sauvé’s Apiary Studio in Laval), but this time he also brought his band along.
STARED AT FROM A DISTANCE
In October 2020, the French newspaper Libération dubbed Feldup the ‘Child of Rock’ upon the release of his twilight album, ‘A Thousand Doors, Just One Key.’ It wasn’t his debut album, but through it, and his collaboration with Talitres, Félix Dupuis realized that music was much more than an art form for expressing his inner turmoil, and more than just an occasional offshoot of his videography pursuits. At just 18, he spent most of his time nurturing his YouTube channel, which then had 120,000 subscribers and now boasts over 1.2 million followers. A band formed, and several concerts took place, drawing a passionate audience that saw in Feldup a direct reflection of their own daily lives and feelings.
Félix Dupuis began writing ‘Stared at from a Distance’ when he felt a profound need to articulate the overwhelming emotional distress he was experiencing. ‘Everything felt disjointed or abstract. Sometimes I’d write lines so brutally honest they were uncomfortable. They brought me solace, but I had no intention of letting anyone hear them,’ he recalls.
The album took shape, painfully. Cold ambient tracks followed noisier compositions, with more rock-oriented pieces eventually emerging. ‘Songs began to form suddenly when I stopped forcing myself to write about other things or sugarcoat my experience. I wrote these raw, cold, deeply intimate lyrics, added the instrumentation, and turned them into tracks.’ After this emotional upheaval, doubt set in. Should he release these songs? Make this trauma public? Support from loved ones convinced the musician. These compositions should be seen as a necessary catharsis – narrating the unspeakable – and Félix’s desire to bear witness, for himself and others.
Discography
Félix Dupuis began writing Toward Happiness in 2023. The album marks a new milestone in his creative process: not only did he step into a proper recording studio for the first time (Amaury Sauvé’s Apiary Studio in Laval), but this time he also brought his band along.
Initially envisioned as a narrative of healing, the record quickly morphed into a raw document of a chaotic, spiraling daily life. Drawing heavily from post-punk and the Windmill scene, the tracks veer between paranoid, noise-driven peaks and cold, ethereal depths. Built on sharp contrasts, Toward Happiness chronicles a descent into hell, grasping for faint glimmers of hope amid the self-destruction.
With the luminous and vulnerable epilogue "One & The Same”, Feldup unveils the centerpiece of his new project, closing out an album designed as an immersive journey through memory and personal recovery.
