So, too, is the 26-year-old's unusual choice of busking instrument - a $75 piano, bought from a recycling depot in Wanaka and wheeled into position each day.
Mr Lefebvre, from Belgium, who has been entertaining passersby in Dunedin this week, said he had been living in Wanaka for the past 10 months, while working two jobs on a working-holiday visa.
In the past two months, he had turned to busking to supplement his income and help pay for his travels around the lower South Island.
Mr Lefebvre arrived in Dunedin on Monday after stops in Queenstown and Invercargill, and planned to stay until tomorrow.
A self-taught pianist, he could not read music and played only his own tunes, with the results recorded on to a CD that was selling well, he said.
Shoppers seemed to appreciate the chance to stop and listen, offering donations and supportive comments, with only a few complaints, he said.
Mr Lefebvre bought his second-hand Collard & Collard piano after spotting it at the Wanaka Wastebusters recycling depot earlier this year.
He tuned it himself, squeezed it into his van - with the help of a friend - and set off on a southern road trip.
The piano was mounted on a trolley built by a Wanaka friend, meaning Mr Lefebvre could wheel the piano around city streets with ease.
At night, the piano was left hidden, under a cover, in a secluded spot in whatever town or city he was visiting.
He hoped to secure an extension to his visa, due to expire in August, to continue his musical travels around New Zealand.
