Wincent Weiss

German model and singer Wincent Weiss (January 21, 1993) first appeared on the music scene as a contestant in 2013's Deutschland Sucht den Superstar, the German equivalent of the Pop Idol series. Although he did not make it to the live shows, he continued to post his songs on his video streaming channel and in 2015 German DJs Gestört Aber Geil and Koby Funk produced a remix of his cover version of Elif Demirezer's “Unter Meiner Haut,” which rose to Number 6 on the German Singles Chart. Weiss released his first solo single “Regenbogen” in 2015, but it was not until 2016 with the release of “Musik Sein” that he had his first chart success, with Top 10 positions in both Austria and Switzerland. His third single release “Feuerwerk” was followed by his debut album Irgendwas Gegen die Stille, both in 2017. This was a commercial success, reaching Number 3 on the German Album Charts and Number 4 on the Swiss Album Charts. Other single releases from this album were “Frische Luft” and “Nur ein Herzschlag Entfernt.” The album was given a Platinum Award for sales by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI). In the same year, Weiss was awarded the Best German Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Weiss started work on his second album in 2018, releasing the singles “An Winder” and “Hier Mit Dir” before the album itself Irgendwie Anders in 2019. This album reached Number 2 on the German Album Charts and was accompanied by a tour of Germany and Austria. In 2019, the release of a third single from the album “Pläne” was followed by “Kaum Erwarten.” Following the release of two singles in 2020, “So Gut” with Achtabahn and “Was Habt Ihr Gedacht,” Wincent Weiss finally reached the top of the charts in both Germany and Austria with a third LP titled Vielleicht Irgendwann (2021). The album spawned the singles “Wie Es Mal War,” “Wer Wenn Nicht Wir,” “Wo die Liebe Hinfällt,” and “Weit Weg,” a trap-tinged pop banger that reached Number 90 on the German Singles Chart.
