Peter Hinnen was born on September 19, 1941 in Zurich. His talent for yodelling was already evident as a child.

In the mid-1950s he was discovered performing in a Zurich bar by the Schmid siblings, one of the most successful Swiss singer groups at the time.

The Schmid siblings brought him together with their composer Artur Beul, which brought him a record deal. In 1954 he starred in a first feature film Great Star Parade (1954). This was followed by appearances in films such as How do I become a movie star? (1955), the first single Columbus-Boogie (1955) and a role in the film Musikparade (1956), where he sang the title Mamma di Mandolin in a duet with Peter Alexander, which made him known to a large audience in German-speaking countries.
Peter Hinnen had his first chart success in 1956 with Rosmarie, which rose to number 23. With Auf meine Ranch bin ich König (1962 - 5th place), from the film Tanze mit mir in den Morgen and Uga Uga Muschka (1962 - 34th place) two more chart listings followed in 1962. During the 1960s he established himself as a cowboy singer who performed his songs with skilful yodeling.

Peter Hinnen was able to place himself in the German charts with seven other titles in the 1960s. Regular TV appearances and tours through Europe, Japan and the USA followed. He retired from show business in the mid-1980s, but still appeared on folk music shows from time to time.
