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 ↴
I stand it all alone
Accept my way of living
I live it on my own
It's my life
I try to be so free
'Cause freedom is the promise
Of my destiny
Oho, oh-oho
I'm never gonna give it up
Oho, oh-oho
I never ever lose my aim
Oho, oh-oho

Accept my way of living
It's my life
I am dreaming in the sunshine
I dream of all the people
I talked to in my lifetime
Different cultures, different nations
Happy people, lucky people
Feeling my vibrations
They just told me all the reasons
I have to find my own way
Don't change it like the season
It's my life, I live it on my own
Welcome to the danger zone

Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
Eu estou sonhando com o brilho do sol
Eu sonho com todas as pessoas com quem conversei toda minha vida
Diferentes culturas, diferentes nações
Pessoas felizes, pessoas sortudas sentem minha vibração
Eles já me disseram todas as razões
Eu tenho que achar meu próprio caminho
Não posso mudá-lo conforme a estação
É minha vida, Eu vivo por conta própria
Seja bem vindo a zona de perigo
É minha vida
Eu tenho suportado tudo sozinho
Aceite meu jeito de viver
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
Eu tento ficar totalmente livre
Porque liberdade é a promessa
Do meu destino
Oho ohoho
Eu nunca perderei as esperanças
Oho ohoho
Eu nunca perdi meu objetivo
Aceite meu jeito de viver
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
É minha vida
É minha vida
É minha vida
É minha vida
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
Assim como minha mãe está segurando minha mão
Em nenhum momento estou sozinho
Música é minha melhor amiga
Você é minha paixão, nós estamos juntos
Música é minha vida
Eu quero viver com ela para sempre
Não há limites para comemorar
Todo mundo vem e dança
Sinta a fascinação
Como os Rolling Stone com o microfone
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
Eu tenho suportado tudo sozinho
Aceite meu jeito de viver
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
Eu tento ficar totalmente livre
Porque liberdade é a promessa
Do meu destino
Oho ohoho
Eu nunca perderei as esperanças
Oho ohoho
Eu nunca perdi meu objetivo
Aceite meu jeito de viver
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
É minha vida
É minha vida
É minha vida
É minha vida
Eu vivo por conta própria
É minha vida
Eu estou sonhando com o brilho do sol
Eu sonho com todas as pessoas com quem conversei toda minha vida
Diferentes culturas, diferentes nações
Pessoas felizes, pessoas sortudas sentem minha vibração

Eu tenho que achar meu próprio caminho
Não posso mudá-lo conforme a estação
É minha vida, Eu vivo por conta própria
Seja bem vindo a zona de perigo

Eu tenho suportado tudo sozinho
Aceite meu jeito de viver
Eu vivo por conta própria
