Anders attended Kurfürst-Balduin-Gymnasium [de] in Münstermaifeld. He finished his abitur in 1982 at Eichendorff-Gymnasium [de] in Koblenz, to take advanced music classes. After that, he studied musicology, publishing and German studies for five semesters at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, with the intention to become a music journalist, all the while trying to become a singer. However, after getting his big break as the lead singer of Modern Talking, he dropped out to focus on his career.
After his lackluster success in pop music, Anders decided to experiment with new styles for his next releases and moved back to Koblenz. His fifth studio album Barcos de Cristal (1994), was recorded completely in Spanish. While it failed to chart in his native country, it became a massive success in Argentina, where the eponymous title track was featured in the opening sequence of a soap opera and reached number 1. In 1995, he released Souled, a soul album featuring covers of The Beatles, Stephanie Mills, as well as original songs and a duet with The Pointer Sisters. The same year, he portrayed the pop star Ypsilon in the episode “Stockholm Marathon” of the police procedural series Kommissar Beck. His 1997 live album Live Concert featured a jazz band and consisted entirely of jazz covers. However, neither release was commercially successful. Also in 1997, he starred in the musical short film Phantomschmerz.
