**Wincent Weiss** (ˈvɪntsn̩t ˈvaɪs; born 21 January 1993) is a German singer, and was first known for taking part in *[Deutschland sucht den Superstar](/source/Deutschland_sucht_den_Superstar)* in 2013.

## Career

### 2013–2017: *Irgendwas gegen die Stille*

In 2013, Weiss participated in the [tenth season](/source/Deutschland_sucht_den_Superstar_(season_10)) of the German talent show *[Deutschland sucht den Superstar](/source/Deutschland_sucht_den_Superstar)*, the German adaptation of the [*Idol* franchise](/source/Idol_series).[2] After a successful audition, he became one of the top 29 contestants but failed to make it to the live shows.[3] In 2015, German DJ duo [Gestört aber GeiL](/source/Gest%C3%B6rt_aber_GeiL) and Koby Funk produced a remix of his rendition of "Unter meiner Haut", an acoustic [cover](/source/Cover_version) of [Elif Demirezer](/source/Elif_Demirezer)'s same-titled song which Weiss had previously uploaded on [YouTube](/source/YouTube).[3] The song peaked as number six on the [German Singles Chart](/source/German_Singles_Chart) and earned a platinum certification by the [Bundesverband Musikindustrie](/source/Bundesverband_Musikindustrie) (BVMI).[3]

Before he received his first record deal, he was a waiter and a model.[4] He has been represented by Tune Models in Cologne. During the fashion week for the spring/summer 2016 season, he walked as an exclusive for [Versace](/source/Versace) menswear.[5]

Weiss's first solo single "Regenbogen" was released the same year but failed to chart. In 2016, he released the single "[Musik sein](/source/Musik_sein)", which was a success in the German-speaking part of Europe, becoming a top ten hit in Austria and Switzerland. Follow-up "[Feuerwerk](/source/Feuerwerk_(song))", released in 2017, entered the top thirty in Germany and Switzerland and preceded his first studio album *[Irgendwas gegen die Stille](/source/Irgendwas_gegen_die_Stille)*, released in April 2017. A commercial success, it peaked at number three in Germany and at number four in Switzerland, eventually going platinum in both countries.[6] A reissue of the album was released later that year.[3] In May 2017, Weiss served as a member of Germany's jury at the [62nd Eurovision Song Contest](/source/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2017) in [Kyiv, Ukraine](/source/Kyiv,_Ukraine).[3] In November, he was awarded the [MTV Europe Music Award for Best German Act](/source/MTV_Europe_Music_Award_for_Best_German_Act).[3]

### 2018–present: *Irgendwie anders*

In April 2018, Weiss won the [Echo Award](/source/Echo_Music_Prize) in the National Newcomer category.[7] He was also nominated for National Pop Artist.[7] The same month, he released his single "An Wunder," the lead single from his second album *[Irgendwie anders](/source/Irgendwie_anders)*. It reached the top 20 of the [German Singles Chart](/source/German_Singles_Chart) and gained gold status in Germany.[8] Also that year, Weiss voiced the titular character in a German animated fantasy family film *[Tabaluga](/source/Tabaluga_(film))*, based on the media franchise of the same name created by musician [Peter Maffay](/source/Peter_Maffay).[7] *Irgendwie anders* was released in March 2019 and peaked at number two in Germany and Switzerland.[8][9] As with "An Wunder," it was certified gold by the BVMI and produced five further singles, including "Hier mit dir."[6] The same year, Weiss participated in the sixth season of the German reality television show *[Sing meinen Song – Das Tauschkonzert](/source/Sing_meinen_Song_%E2%80%93_Das_Tauschkonzert)*, the German adaptation of *[The Best Singers](/source/The_Best_Singers_(series))* franchise.[10] In 2020, Weiss released the previously unreleased single "Sag so," a collaboration with Achtabahn.[11]

From 2021 to 2025, Weiss was featured as a coach on *[The Voice Kids Germany](/source/The_Voice_Kids_(German_TV_series))*. In 2024, at the conclusion of his fourth season, Jakob Hebgen, a member of Weiss' team, won the season making Weiss the winning coach. In 2025, Weiss' team was again victorious when his artist Neo Klingl won on Weiss' fifth season as a coach.
