Record company Koch on a record by Stella. Again and again he calls for producer Riny Schreijenberg (formerly known as trumpeter Marty) whose name is on the sleeve. Schreijenberg is enthusiastic about the young Bauer but believes he's still too young. In later years Schreijenberg will become one of the main men behind Bauer's successes. Frans, however, decides not to wait that long and releases his first single, only 500 copies, which he sells door to door. He finances this by picking strawberries during the summer. He releases singles this way every year until the age of 15. Later in his career, these singles will sell for between 750 and 1000 at record fairs. *** *** 1984 - 1991 Frans starts taking singing lessons and supports various well-known Dutch artists. During one of these shows Frans is filmed by a crew from TV show All you need is Love and confronted with a video message of two female fans. Partly because of this TV appearance Frans Bauer becomes a national celebrity. 1992 Bauer releases his debut album Op Weg Naar Het Geluk ('On The Way To Happiness'), which is produced by Riny 'Marty' Schreijenberg and Emile Hartkamp. The album only reaches number 67 of the album charts, it does prove to be a blueprint of the concept with which he will become successful in future years. 1994 The year of Bauer's breakthrough. With his single Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan ('When The Stars Are In The Sky') he enters the charts for the first time.
