Leon (born Jürgen Göbel) is a German singer who represented his home country in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 in Oslo with the song Planet of Blue but failed to qualify past the audio-only pre-selection stage, which marks the only time in its history that the country has failed to reach the final.
Undeterred by disappointment, Leon returned to the German Eurovision selection in 1997 with "Schein (meine kleine Taschenlampe)", which finished second. He remains active and continues to release new material.
