The creation of Conchita Wurst
Between 2007 and 2011 Tom began creating a persona. A young lady who had a distinct feature, a real beard. He created Conchita to be a statement to show tolerance and acceptance and to support the idea of a society without hate or discrimination.
‘Everybody should live their lives the way they want, as long as nobody else gets hurt or is restricted in their own way of life.’ – Conchita Wurst
