He began his career doing cabaret in Graz in 1995 and released his debut album Himmel, Arsch & Gartenzwerg in 1996. Poier gained international recognition by participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 with "Weil der Mensch zählt", finishing in sixth place. His stage act was a parody of the contest's excesses. In 2005, his song "Good Old Europe Is Dying" caused controversy due to its lyrics.
