Conchita Wurst Biography

Conchita Wurst is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on November 6, 1988 in Gmunden, Upper Austria, Austria. Austrian drag queen and performer who gained fame following her win at in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. The single “Rise Like a Phoenix” was a top- ranked hit in her home country following her performance during the competition.

She was the successor to the 2013 champion Emmelie de Forest as the winner in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Neuwirth asserted that the inclusion of the beard as part of the Wurst character was “a statement to say that you can achieve anything, no matter who you are or how you look.” The inclusion of a beard as part of the drag look was not unique, having been pioneered in the 1970s by The Cockettes in San Francisco and the Bloolips in London.

Tom Neuwirth was born on 6 November 1988 in Gmunden, Austria, but raised in the small town of Bad Mitterndorf, in the Styrian countryside in Austria. He has stated that the mountainous area was a wonderful place to grow up, but that he faced prejudice for being homosexual: “Being a teenager, a gay teenager, in such a small village is not that much fun. I am part of the gay community and most gays have a similar story to mine.”

The birthplace of her mother was Thomas Neuwirth to parents Helga and Siegfried Neuwirth.

In Russia, “Rise Like a Phoenix” topped the internet download chart two days after the competition. Fans of Wurst and LGBT rights activists applied to hold a Conchita Wurst March of Bearded Women and Men through Moscow, Russia, on 27 May, a date commemorating the 21st anniversary since the legalisation of same- sex sexual activity in the country. Officials from the city’s security department rejected the request, citing a wish to “respect morality in the education of the younger generation” and to prevent violent clashes between marchers and anti-gay demonstrators. Russian singer Filipp Kirkorov, who helped write the Eurovision song “Shine,” called on Russians to respect Wurst’s victory, saying: “it was the song that won, and in my opinion it was a beautiful song.”
