Who is the 24 -year -old JJ who won Eurovision

« It’s crazy! Thanks! I gave myself all, 150% of me is me and I am grateful that Europe really loved it. As I went up on stage I was very calm. I gave what I had in this act. I was amazing.

The moment of the vote was the worst waiting of my whole life and when we got to the final two and I saw the screen split into the two I thought « my God I’m 100 points away ». Eventually we got more points and we are officially the winners. It’s crazy, ”JJ said in his first statements.

« Kids are going to go home and make a big pool party. Next year to come to Vienna .. My family is here and will give you a lot of food. Yes come my home!

The family is so happy about what is happening. My sister came before I went to the stage again and gave me a huge hug.

« It’s the best! It was very supportive throughout the Eurovision trip. He told me JJ I’m ready to hand over the trophy and you are the next winner. « 

« Love wins. In my song I used to say that love is lost, but in the end love wins. Spread love, forget about hatred, love is the strongest power, « the young artist said excitedly.

His real name is Johannes Pietsch, born in Vienna in 2001 and grew up in Dubai before returning to Vienna in 2016.

This year’s Eurovision JJ is a characteristic platinum that can touch the « heights » soprano. He already has recognition in the world of classical music and his vocal talent is considered rare.

Many met JJ from Starmania’s TV show, where he presented his excellent voice and range, reaching the final of the show in 2021.

The Austro-Physical artist appears at the Vienna State Opera House and has participated in many productions, such as Die Zauberflöte, Von der Liebe Tod and Tschick.

Outside, he continues to refine his art by studying classical music at the renowned private University of Vienna Music and Art (MUK).

« My personal message would be just to love each other because love is the most beautiful thing in the world and hate is the most horrible thing. When they are there for each other, everything works perfectly. « 

The song begins with the lyrics: « I’m an Ocean of Love. And you’re scared of water (I’m an ocean out of love. And you are afraid of water).

In an interview, the Austrian singer said: « There is a unique kind of clamor when you have so much love to give but you can’t land it anywhere.

It’s like drifting into the sea on a fragile paper boat – grabbing any trace of hope, just to see it dissolve below you, and yet, there is undoubtedly beautiful in this naive dedication.

Because, in the end, being able to just love – no matter how much you are wasted – is a beautiful thing in itself. «
