Wolfgang Ambros

Wolfgang Ambros is a legendary figure in Austrian music, often hailed as one of the pioneers of Austropop—a genre that blends rock and pop with lyrics in Austrian German. He first rose to fame in the early 1970s with his hit "Da Hofa," and he continued to shape the musical landscape of Austria with his distinct voice, poetic lyrics, and a down-to-earth style that resonated with everyday life. His 1976 song "Schifoan," an ode to skiing, remains an iconic winter anthem in Austria.

Over the decades, Ambros has built a loyal fanbase through a combination of heartfelt ballads, social commentary, and rollicking rock tracks. He’s also known for putting his own spin on the songs of Austrian cabaret legend Hans Moser and for collaborating with other beloved Austrian artists. Through countless albums, live recordings, and decades of touring, Wolfgang Ambros has cemented his place as a cultural icon in Austria’s music scene.
