Bosson began to sing along with the radio as a toddler and, at the age of six, he began singing in front of audiences. His stage name of "Bosson" comes from the fact that his father's first name is Bo, and the singer is Bo's son.
Bosson's first band was called Elevate, which landed a recording contract with Virgin Records in the early 1990s, resulting in three hit singles. In 1994, Bosson was a finalist on the TV show "Star Search." Soon afterward, the sexy singer went solo.
Bosson exploded into worldwide fame with his global megahit single "One in a Million," which was featured in the Hollywood film Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. The song earned Bosson a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song.
From there, Bosson toured as an opening act for Australia's Kylie Minogue and California's Britney Spears while writing songs for other major recording artists like Amy Grant and Al Di Meola.
What gets the singer-songwriter inspired to compose such romantic music for his adoring throngs of female fans?
"It can be enough to turn off the lights and light some candles and just sit alone somewhere and think a lot," said Bosson. "Everything happens inside of you, it's your thoughts. It's just that you have to put yourself in that frame of mind."
"Every song has its own little story that tells you something," the songwriter emphasized. "That's when you can relate to a situation, when somebody else is singing about something that you are feeling right in that moment. That's when you feel that you're not alone in a situation, that there are others that feel the same way."
What is Bosson's advice for all the singers and songwriters trying to make it in the music business? "If you just follow your heart and do what feels right, people will hear that."
This Is Our Life
Bosson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I still believe that love is the answer
This is our life
I sit alone on the balcony
In the middle of the night
And everything is calm
And everything is right
Thinking back on the time
I was depending on somebody
Tellin' me what to do
I know what to do
Because we're born with freedom
We can live our lives
The way we want
And just the way we feel
We will discover the truth
For me, it's love
My love is true
Baby this is our life
I still believe that love is the answer
This is our life
I still believe our love will last forever
This is our life
Baby this is our life
This is our life
We're heading into the future
But we're running out of time
And we're running out of gas
We forget why we're here
If we stop for a moment
Give it all up for care
I'm taking care of you
Take good care of me
Because we're born with freedom
We can live our lives
The way we want
And just the way we feel
And if we follow our heart
We will discover the truth
For me, it's love
My love is true
Take care of yourself
Be nice to your friends
And visit your relatives once in a while
Give love to your family
Take care of your baby
Don't be afraid to open your heart
