Opera Singer JJ Selected to Represent Austria at Eurovision 2025

The 23-year-old countertenor, known for blending classical and pop music, will debut his song in March ahead of the competition in Basel this May.

Johannes Pietsch, performing as JJ, was chosen by Austrian broadcaster ORF through an internal selection process involving Eurovision fan clubs.
JJ, a countertenor with a unique ability to sing in high vocal registers, plans to fuse classical and pop influences in his Eurovision entry.
The song JJ will perform at Eurovision is set to be unveiled in early March, with the singer teasing a surprise element in the composition.
JJ has prior experience in televised singing competitions, having appeared on 'The Voice UK' in 2020 and reaching the finals of Austria's 'Starmania' in 2021.
Austria aims to improve its Eurovision standing after finishing near the bottom in last year's competition, held in Malmö.
