Rising star luisa schweig is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music scene, securing two consecutive number-one hits on the FM4 charts. The young artist first climbed to the top with the track “Wiener Tauben,” a collaboration with her musical best friend CHURRO64, and followed that success with her second official release, “rotkreidenmund.”
The breakout success of “Wiener Tauben” was a significant milestone, as the song managed to outperform global superstars like Harry Styles and Gorillaz to claim the top spot. The track, which originated from an idea by luisa schweig, was recorded in the home studio of CHURRO64’s grandmother. The collaboration began unexpectedly when schweig approached the rapper, Daniel Sánchez Pöll (known as CHURRO64), at a local fair to suggest they create music together. The song’s popularity has been substantial, racking up more than 350,000 streams within a two-month window.
Now 16 years old and hailing from Steinbrunn in Burgenland, luisa schweig’s journey into songwriting began in earnest about a year ago. Despite her current chart-topping status, the student admits she initially struggled with confidence. she not only doubted her singing ability but confessed she had “richtig arge Angst” (really intense fear) regarding it. Before diving into music, her creative pursuits were not “musik-related,” though she has a noted love for musicals.
The impact of her lyrical style is evident in “rotkreidenmund,” featuring the standout opening line: „Große Träumer ich bin einer davon / weil ich von dir große Träume bekomm“. This track further cements her position as a homegrown talent capable of capturing widespread attention.
Her collaborator, the 19-year-old Oslip native CHURRO64, has also seen his ambitions realized through this success. With roots in Mexico—which inspired his stage name—and a connection to his hometown’s postal code (7064), Sánchez Pöll has transitioned from early performances at the Cselley Mühle to appearing in Vienna and Eisenstadt. For the young rapper, hitting number one was “ein extremes Gefühl” and the fulfillment of a long-held dream.
Despite her rapid ascent, schweig remains grounded in her daily life, balancing her viral social media presence and music career with her school attendance—even if she occasionally dreams of skipping gym class. After a brief delay caused by an appendicitis recovery, the artist recently visited the FM4 studios at Wiener Küniglberg, marking another step forward in a career that began just one year ago.
