Following a string of performances at several clubs and discothèques, he participated in a music contest organized by the radio station Radio Luxembourg in 1979, which he walked away from without earning enough points.

He signed his first record contract with CBS while still in school and took up the stage name of Thomas Anders, performing in the then-popular German schlager genre. In 1980, at the age of 17, he published his first single, schlager ballad “Judy”, which failed to chart. A year later, he appeared in German TV show Hätten Sie heut’ Zeit für mich? and performed his second single, “Du weinst um ihn”, another schlager ballad. Again, the song failed to make an impact, as did his third single, “Es war die Nacht der ersten Liebe”, an attempt at an upbeat schlager song. Consequently, he was released by CBS in late 1981.
After having finished school, he signed a contract with Hansa Records in 1982. He next released another commercially unsuccessful schlager ballad, “Ich will nicht dein Leben”, produced by fellow schlager artist G.G. Anderson [de] . In 1983, he was approached by Intersong, a subsidiary of Hansa, whether he was interested to record several German schlager cover versions of English songs. Thus, he was introduced to producer Dieter Bohlen, with whom he recorded “Was macht das schon?”, the German cover version of F. R. David’s “Pick Up the Phone” and also “Heißkalter Engel”, the German cover version of Real Life’s “Send Me an Angel”. From late 1983 to the mid of 1984 Bohlen produced other tracks for Anders including “Wovon träumst du denn”, “Endstation Sehnsucht” and “Es geht mir gut heut’ Nacht”, which he performed at German TV shows such as Night Club. As was the case with his previous attempts at schlager music, however; all of these songs failed to achieve commercial or critical success.
He got married Claudia Hess in 2000 and the couple have one child, Alexander, who was born in 2002.
