Originating from Portugal, and with roots in Latin, Progressive Rock, and Jazz/Fusion genres, Luis Coelho's influences, as his guitar playing, are extremely diverse. His career began in the booming late 1990s rock scene in Portugal, where he toured with the most popular covers bands of the time. Luis' earliest most notable achievement came in 2002 when he was invited to pay tribute to the great Portuguese traditional guitar player Carlos Paredes, organized by a national radio station - Antena3. Another high-point came in 2010 when he was invited to play in a national guitar player's event and to contribute with a composition to a CD collection with the most influential Portuguese guitar players of the time.

Early on, the Portuguese guitarist/songwriter was positioned alongside some of the country's most popular musicians as a virtuoso guitarist. In 2011, he was selected as a finalist of Guitar Idol III, a worldwide talent search to find the hottest undiscovered guitarists from every corner of the globe; going on to become the 10th most voted by the public amongst 1700 competitors from all over the world.
