Though he began his career spinning records, DJ Bobo became popular in his native Switzerland as a dance-pop vocalist, composing and producing most of his own work. His first hit as a vocalist was 1992's "Somebody Dance with Me," which reached the Top Ten in several European countries. The album Dance with Me continued his success, and the singer gained fame by touring Latin America and Asia as well as Europe. Though he hasn't achieved much success in North America, DJ Bobo has released several albums in the U.S.

尽管DJ Bobo曾于1988年赢得德国“年度最佳DJ大奖”，但他却是在成为流行舞曲歌手，并亲自担纲个人专辑的作曲、编曲与制作之后，才逐渐在家乡－－瑞士走红。92年底发表的“Somebody Dance With Me”是他扬名欧陆的首支单曲，当时此曲不仅名列瑞士榜冠军、进占欧洲数国的排行前十名，稍后推出的《Dance With Me》专辑，更是令他的知名度迅速拓展至拉丁美洲与亚、澳地区。随後，他陆续以“Keep On Dancing”…等金单曲叱吒欧洲与拉丁美洲乐坛，期间还数度荣膺世界音乐奖“瑞士最畅销歌手”的头衔，说他是瑞士乐坛的天王巨星实不为过。
