# DJ BoBo

> The Swiss producer turned Eurodance into an export industry in the 1990s, moving 14 million records with rapid-fire singles that paired his rapped verses against female hooks and synthesized euphoria. Ten World Music Awards later, the format still holds.

## Bio

Peter René Baumann was born 5 January 1968 and took the stage name DJ BoBo as a producer working the dance floors of early-1990s Europe. His first major hit, "Somebody Dance with Me", borrowed its melody from Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" and opened the floodgates. Between 1992 and 2007 he charted 27 singles in Switzerland and Germany - "Keep on Dancing", "Take Control", "Let the Dream Come True", "Chihuahua", and others - nearly all built on the same architecture: fast Eurodance, female vocals, his rapped interludes. The formula traveled: Germany and Switzerland first, then Canada, Asia, South America. He released 12 studio albums and several compilation sets that reworked the old hits, collected Gold and Platinum certifications across multiple territories, and won ten World Music Awards as Switzerland's best-selling artist. The peak was Eurodance's peak, but the catalogue outlasted it.
