Conchita Wurst is the stage name of the 26 year old Austrian Tom Neuwirth. Neuwirth has dreamed of a successful singing career from an early age. In 2011 he first appeared on stage as Conchita Wurst – a long-haired, ultra slim singer, who, wherever she is, sparks interest with a strong beard. In Austria, Neuwirth soon became a symbol for tolerance and artistic freedom.
