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.

DJ Bobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me, kiss me - every time with heart and soul
Break me, kick me - you can knock me off my feet
Fool me, hurt me - your kisses taste so bittersweet
Be me, see me - treat me like a superstar
Push me, change me - wanting you is so bizarre
Read me, hear me, all my effort is not enough
Before you break my heart
Let me be your superstar
You're tearing me apart
Let me be your superstar
And make me lose control
Let me be your superstar
Cause now I want it all
Call me, date me - shoot me like a cannonball
Try me, lay me - crash me up against the wall
Love me, hate me - stronger than a shark attack
Thrill me, cry me - hide your fear behind my back
Find me, fear me - never leave me on my own
Chase me, stop me - make me shiver to the bone
Hug me, chill me, send my angels from up above
Let me be your superstar
Before you break my heart
Let me be your superstar
You're tearing me apart
Let me be your superstar
And make me lose control
Let me be your superstar
Cause now I want it all
Come baby, come baby, love me, hate me
Shoot me like a cannonball, try me, lay me
Make me shiver to the bone don't stop me
Come thrill me, just feel me so heal me, you'll see
You know I want it all, how
I want it right here, right now, now
Let me be your superstar
Before you break my heart
Let me be your superstar
You're tearing me apart
Let me be your superstar
And make me lose control
Let me be your superstar
Cause now I want it all
Let me be your superstar oh oh oh oh
Before you break my heart
Let me be your superstar oh yeah yeah yeah
You're tearing me apart
Let me be your superstar
In the song "Superstar" by DJ Bobo, the lyrics depict a plea to be loved and treated like a superstar. The lyrics are intense and filled with plenty of action words that reflect the singer's vulnerability and desire. The first few lines talk about being touched and kissed, which means the singer is letting go of control and giving himself or herself to the lover. The next few lines speak about being broken and kicked, which shows how much the singer is willing to sacrifice in the name of love. Even though the lover may hurt and fool the singer, he or she is still willing to take it all in, knowing that the kisses are worth it.
The second verse of the song is even more intense than the first. It talks about how the singer wants to be chased and stopped, making him or her shiver to the bone. The singer wants his or her lover to take on the role of a hunter, and he or she wants to be the prey. The lines, "Let me be your superstar before you break my heart" mean that the singer is willing to be vulnerable and put everything on the line for his or her lover. Overall, the song is about wanting to be loved and desired, even if it means getting hurt in the process.
