Her performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 propelled her to become a worldwide inspiration for millions. However, at the same time her detractors united against her – demonstrations were held before the European Parliament and death threats were issued against her.Conchita Wurst both polarised and fascinated people with her wonderful singing and fearless image; Elton John, Cher, Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier were among the many who publicly admired her talent and courage.Now she talks for the first time about the good and bad of her childhood, both the love she received from her parents and the support of her grandmother, but also the discrimination she experienced first-hand from others. She also answers some important questions: why did she feel the need to leave home at the age of fourteen to stand on her own two feet? How did Tom Neuwirth become Conchita Wurst? And how did she manage to realise her dreams when day after day obstacles were placed in her path?Being Conchita is the fascinating story of a young boy from the provinces who always had a vision of one day being a star.

    LETTER FROM JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER

    Paris, 12 December 2014

    Dear Conchita,

    The first time I saw you was on the internet when you were in the selection process to be the Austrian representative of the Eurovision Song Contest. It was like a jolt, like a shock to me and also a revelation. The look, the voice… I was seduced and wanted to get to know you immediately. I invited you to come to Paris and see my show and when I met you and talked to you I became your unconditional fan. It was a coup de foudre. And I also discovered that your name had a double, even triple meaning.
    Two years later you sang for Austria and the rest is history. I voted for you seventy-three times! Your victory was not only for a song, a singer, an incredible voice and a fantastic interpretation, but also a victory for the values in which I believe in and for which I fought throughout my career: tolerance and humanity. This was a victory for all those who are different, as well as a message of encouragement to them to express their difference, to manifest it and to live it. You are a unique human being, positive and generous, smart and straightforward.
    Like Madonna who is a real macho in a woman’s body, you are a Wonder Woman in a man’s body. You erase boundaries between masculine and feminine like no one did before. You succeeded, coming from the avant-garde and the underground, to become a popular icon, and a fashion icon forever. I look up to you for how you break the fashion codes like I did throughout my career: the male and female duality, male object and strong woman.
    Conchita, you are a true inspiration and I am proud to know you and to be your friend.

    Jean Paul Gaultier
