Wincent Weiss and the artist DIKKA created “Boom Schakkalakka” together in 2022. The collaboration combines the powerful voice of Weiss with the musical elements of DIKKA to create a rousing hit that impresses with its catchy melodies and emotional depth.

On April 28, 2023, Weiss presented his fourth album “Irgendwo ankommen”. This album marks the end of the “Irgend series” (Irgendwas gegen die Stille – 2017, Irgendwie anders – 2019, Vielleicht irgendwann – 2021, Irgendwo ankommen – 2023), as Weiss emphasizes. Despite entering the German charts at number 2, Weiss had previously publicly considered postponing the release of the album in order to avoid a possible chart entry by a competitor. In the end, however, he decided against it.

The tour accompanying the album was Weiss’ first to be profitable, mainly thanks to the make-up dates for the concerts canceled due to corona, which were sold out years in advance. Although the tour was sold out, the increased costs exceeded the income. Despite these financial prospects, Weiss did not cancel the tour. His return as a judge for the eleventh season of “The Voice Kids” in 2023 was also confirmed by broadcaster Sat1.

In 2022 and 2023, Wincent Weiss was a guest on the show presented by Giovanni Zarrella hosted by Giovanni Zarrella “The Giovanni Zarrella Show”.

2025 is Wincent next to Stefanie Kloß, Clueso and Ayliva as a coach on The Voice Kids again.
