For many, she is the number one folk music fan in Austria: Melissa Naschenweng.

According to the fans, she also looks good – it wasn't always like that.

Lesachtal - tractors, farm, country life - the songs by Melissa Naschenweng* are particularly well received by the Austrians.

The Carinthian grew up on a farm and has lived and experienced what she sings about.

Now the 31-year-old has unpacked in an interview about her childhood.

Above all, appearance was a big topic in the conversation on "Heinzl and the VIPs" on ATV.

The singer has given insights and revealed things that you would not have expected.

Melissa Naschenweng like a boy?

Her current appearance doesn't suggest that

With hits like "Traktorfuhrerschein" or "I stand up mountain farmer" she has won the hearts of Schlager fans. But she doesn't see herself as a pop or folk musician because she gives it more gas. For her, her style of music is called "LederHosenRock". In addition to the musical performance, many male fans adore the native of Villach because of her looks. The slim blonde has been showered with compliments on her Instagram posts. "Mom always looks over it and gives me tips," reveals Naschenweng. Whether too much clothing or too little - her mother has the right tip ready, because she trusts her.

Her relationship with her parents is very good, although they separated when Melissa was four years old.

And she has (or had) more from her father than she would like.

Because she looked like a boy as a child!

"I looked wia a Bua," she says in dialect.

“My childhood photos are locked at home forever.

I said to my mother: 'What's the matter with you guys?'”, says Naschenweng.

"I even had the same hairstyle as dad," she says, smiling.

One experience in particular stuck in her memory with her pot hairstyle.

"When we were skiing, people said, 'Ah, are you there with your son today?'" she says, rolling her eyes.

Her style of dress was more reminiscent of a boy than a girl.

Her mother once asked her about the hairstyle: "What's the matter with you?

Didn't you want to blow-dry me?".

Many fans will be happy that the preppy musician now looks the way she does.
