One of the most recognisable names in the world of the Eurovision Song Contest is Austria’s Conchita Wurst. In the weeks before her victory for Austria with ‘Rise Like A Phoenix’, I caught up with the singer to find out more about their public and personal sides. We discussed attitudes, dreams, songs, Shirley Bassey, and Austria’s entry into Eurovision 2014.
A few hours after this interview, Conchita would take to the stage for the first public performance of the song and start their journey to global recognition. Time was tight between rehearsals and taking to the Dutch stage, so the interview took place in the back of a taxi. Sometimes, it’s the name, not the venue, that counts!
- Recorded April 2014 at Amsterdam’s Eurovision in Concert.
