Already in his youth, Frans Bauer wanted to become a singer after he was inspired by Julio Iglesias, Elvis Presley and Koos Alberts (a Dutch singer). Bauer's own singing career started in 1987 when he recorded his first single, "Ben Je Jong" (Are You Young), under supervision of Dutch producers Rudi Schreijenberg and Emile Hartkamp.
In January 1992 he met his later wife-to-be, Mariska van Rossenberg. He was a local celebrity before rising to national fame due to the national television show "All You Need Is love" in early 1992, where he was to choose two female fans for a date. In 1994 he had his first national hit with "Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan". In 1997 he conquered Germany with his album "Weil Ich Dich Liebe".
Frans Bauer's fame kept growing to the point where he had his own reality show called "De Bauers", in which his daily life, including his family life, was followed. Bauer has also designed clothing for the Vroom & Dreesmann retail chain, based in The Netherlands.
He has won several awards and honours in The Netherlands, including a knighthood ("Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau") due to his charitable work and the "Gouden Televizier-Ring" for the reality show that has been running on Dutch television the year previously.
In 2006 he was struck by an infection on his vocal cords. He recovered after surgery.

Naar het hemelrijk
Praat je met je vrienden maar
Die lachend naar jou kijkt
Hij kent elke droom van jou
Jij vraagt hem om raad
Vol verwachting wacht je nou
Wat jou te wachten staat
en schijnen even een lichtje op jou
Ga de weg van je dromen
Altijd achterna
1000 sterren stralen
Ze zijn er allemaal even voor jou
En ze laten je weten
Dat geluk nog bestaat
Als je in jezelf gelooft
is er altijd hoop
Als het even tegenzit
Al voelt het even slecht
Maar het maantje lacht naar jou
Het heeft jou toch gezegt
1000 sterren stralen
en schijnen even een lichtje op jou
Ga de weg van je dromen
Altijd achterna
1000 sterren stralen
Ze zijn er allemaal even voor jou
En ze laten je weten
Dat geluk nog bestaat
1000 sterren stralen
en schijnen even een lichtje op jou
Ga de weg van je dromen
Altijd achterna
1000 sterren stralen
Ze zijn er allemaal even voor jou
En ze laten je weten
Dat geluk nog bestaat
The lyrics of Frans Bauer's song "1000 sterren stralen" tell a story of hope, optimism, and following one’s dreams. Looking out of the attic window towards the magnificent sky, the singer talks to his friends, who smile as they look at him. He believes that his friends know all of his dreams, so he asks them for guidance, eagerly anticipating what lies ahead. The chorus emphasizes the importance of pursuing one’s dreams, letting the thousand stars that shine and illuminate one’s path lead the way, and never losing hope because happiness still exists.
The uplifting message of the song is conveyed by the metaphor of the thousand shining stars, representing both the dreams and aspirations that the singer wants to achieve and the hope that he can find in them. The moon, too, represents a beacon of hope, reminding him that even in the darkest moments, there is always a reason to keep going.
The song tells a simple yet powerful story of perseverance, hope, and belief in oneself, with the help of friends and the universe. It urges the listener to trust their journey and let the stars guide their path towards the realization of their dreams, reminding them that even in moments of difficulty, they are never alone.
