Wincent Weiss (32, "Feuerwerk") is not only known for his many hits, but also for his live shows.
Shortly before his performance at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, Wincent Weiss talks to blue News and explains why he deliberately decided against a stage name: "I'm me on stage, I'm me in real life," he says.
ChatGPT has invented various stage names for Weiss, including Vince White and Vincent Hope. He would prefer the latter because he sees himself as an optimistic person and music is associated with hope for him.
When asked about his most emotional song, he names "1993". "The song is about how I grew up without my father, just with my mother," he says. The song is a piano ballad that is particularly close to his heart because it reflects his childhood.
Spectacular shows with an American influence

His performances are elaborately staged, with pyrotechnics and color plays.
To keep fit on stage, he warms up with yoga exercises.
Wincent Weiss is a big fan of Switzerland: "For me, Switzerland is outrageously beautiful." The landscape never fails to impress him. "It's expensive, but beautiful," he adds with a laugh.
