What may initially seem like the fusion of two worlds, opera and pop, is a harmonious whole for JJ. JJ, whose real name is Johannes Pietsch, was born in Vienna in 2001 and grew up in Dubai before returning to Vienna in 2016.
As a countertenor with a distinctive voice that reaches soprano heights, JJ has already made a name for himself with his exceptional range and heartfelt performances. The audience may also recognize JJ from the ORF event show „Starmania,“ where he showcased his extraordinary voice and made it to the final shows in 2021. Currently, JJ performs at the Vienna State Opera and has participated in numerous productions, including „Die Zauberflöte,“ „Von der Liebe Tod,“ „Tschick,“ and many other classical masterpieces. Offstage, he continues to refine his craft by studying classical music at the renowned Music and Art Private University of Vienna (MUK), where he is recognized as an outstanding talent in his field.
In 2025, JJ will represent Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest, combining his classical roots with a modern artistic vision.
