Eurovision
Jendrik Sigwart always dreamt of representing Germany in Eurovision. After he failed to make it to the 2020 live selection show, he put a humourous video "How to make a Musikvideo" on TikTok and Instagram to one of his songs in a bid for a brand new try for Eurovision 2021. As the video gained attention and following, the Hamburg radio and television broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) took notice and eventually nominated him as a candidate. On February 6, 2021 it was announced that he had been selected internally to represent Germany at Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam bypassing the German representative to the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 Ben Dolic.

The selected song that Jendrik has wrote himself is "I Don't Feel Hate". It was released on February 25, 2021. A music video was also released. The song was produced by Christoph Oswald.
