According to the information, Jendrik Sigwart learned to play the piano and guitar as a teenager and graduated from the Institute for Music at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences with a degree in musical performance.
As early as 2020, the lead NDR had the German ESC contribution selected using a multi-level jury system and no longer via preliminary decisions on television and with audience participation.
However, due to the corona, the ESC failed at the time.
For Germany, Ben Dolic would have started with “The Violent Thing”.
The ESC will take place this May under strict Corona measures with artists from 41 countries in Rotterdam - but very likely without an audience.
