As a dance music producer, his first big success came with the single Somebody Dance with Me, which is similar in sound to Rockwell's, "Somebody's Watching Me". The single hit number one in Switzerland. After this, he charted well with the singles Keep on Dancing and Take Control.
René has received numerous golds and platinums for his songs and has found success in Europe (primarily Germany and Switzerland) and South America. René's more recent songs are a departure from eurodance, but he still produces decent eurodance tracks such as Moscow (2001), No More Pain (2003), and Amazing Life (2005).
One of his singles, Chihuahua, was used in a Spanish Coca-Cola commercial. In 2003 it was re-released due to its huge success and it ended being the second best selling single of the year world wide. In December 2004, the Cantonese version of Chihuahua was written by Wyman Wong as the theme song of the same product. This version was performed by Joey Yung.
In 2004, as a result of the success of Chihuahua, René was awarded the Swiss award for Showbusiness at the Swiss awards, an annual event meant to recognise high achieving Swiss people.
As well as being a eurodance performer and producer, René is also a talented choreographic dancer.
During 1993 René met Nancy Rentzsch; she joined his team in 1995. René and Nancy became a couple and in 2002 they married and had two children, Jamiro Rene (born October 8, 2002) and Kayley Nancy (born September 29, 2006).
DJ Bobo’s became a United Nations World Food Programme National Ambassador Against Hunger in October 2006, becoming the first Swiss celebrity to take up the role. He was also a participant in the 2006 Geneva Walk the World event.
On October 11, 2006 DJ Bobo announced in a press conference that he has applied to represent Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with his song "Vampires are alive".
UPDATE - Swiss broadcaster SF have announced that René Baumann (DJ BoBo), will represent the country at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest. A jury made up of music professionals will select his song for Helsinki out of 60 potential entries.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance sweat move your body
Jump around start to party
Enjoy yourself you are not are stereotype
Express yourself then you feel alright all night
Because it's party time that's why I'm here
Kicking a rhyme get up get down
Get into break stop
Four and three and two and one
Here we go lets have some fun
"Fresh music" is what its all about
Now all the ladies scream and shout
Now get crazy and starts humping
Dancing jumping and act like a wild thing
I got the rhythm which keeps you pumping
Cause my singing lady makes you jumping
Just keep on dancing,
Just keep on dancing
Right now, right now
Just keep on dancing,
Just keep on dancing
Right now uh, uh ya
Move your feet to the rhythm of the beat
Pump up the volume feel the heat
Turn up the bass and get steady
Let the music move you get ready
Shake it break it just take it
Get on the dancefloor cause I make it
Rhythm and bass give you the power
Like another nuclear shower
Once again the place is grooving
The records playing the crowd is moving
Pump up the bass in the place
Party people no time to waste
No matter how fast you walk, I'm faster
Don't let me get to you, I'm the master
I play the hits and you start the party
Come on girl lets pump that body !
See'est la musique qui me brûle le sang
Qui fait me souvenir?.
See'est l'amour qui fait la vie possible
See'est l'amour qui fait la vie possible
Let the bass go
Pump up the volume for your key
Go? go? go?
