Viennese Singer Chovo Won the Protest Song Contest 2025

A total of ten acts took to the stage for the final at the Vienna Rabenhof Theater, with themes focusing on patriarchy and the rising fascism.

Singer Chovo Triumphed with "Jedermann"

Only in December, Chovo, who started making music two years ago, released her debut album "Unsere Facetten". It includes "Jedermann", in which the musician with Indian roots addresses violence against women. She scores in the elegiac R'n'B piece not only with clever imagery of everyday observations but also with a powerful voice.

A total of 170 songs were submitted to the competition this year, as FM4 reported. Ten protest voices then competed in the final, including acts like ams ("unta freind"), Coleija ("Freier Mensch"), or Marbelite ("John"). The decision on the winner was made by a six-member jury and the audience. The evening was hosted by actor Michael Ostrowski.
