At just 23 years old, JJ (Johannes Pietsch) grew up in Dubai, returning to his home country in 2016. In 2021, he was a finalist in Starmania, with a distinctive voice as a countertenor. He performs at the State Opera of Vienna and has participated in several shows.
The ORF selected the Austrian representative through a process that began in the summer of last year with a songwriting camp. The most promising songs were evaluated by a national and international panel of experts, as well as representatives from 30 official fan clubs.
In a press release, JJ said: “It is a great honor for me to represent Austria in Basel. My heart beats for big shows, and there’s nothing bigger than the Eurovision Song Contest. I am very happy for the trust placed in me. In the coming weeks, we will work hard to deliver an unforgettable performance on the stage in May”.
