Bouriah studied as a sound technician at the Mallorca Music College. He met Dutch dancer and singer Loona in 1991. They started performing together.

He released his debut album Life Is Just a Game in 1998. Then he started his own label and released the 2002 album Heaven. When The single Heaven started to chart across Europe, the dance label Robbins Entertainment picked it up in North America. They are distributed by Sony. The single Heaven reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and it topped the British charts. The album was certified Gold in England. Though there are a couple of covers on the album, Bouriah wrote and produced most of the album with co-writers. For Heaven, the co-producer is German DJ Yann "Yanou" Peifer. The singer is Dutch singer Dominique Rijpma van Hulst. She goes by the stage name Do. She is unknown outside The Netherlands and Belgium. This album is available on CD. Bouriah last released an album in 2005. He still releases singles, most recently in 2026. There is a sentiment in the dance music community that only singles are needed and albums are obsolete. Of course that's not true but some DJs believe that. Bouriah still produces artists like Enrique Iglesias, Marta Sanchez and David Bisbal. And he still DJs in clubs mostly in Europe. Here's the video for Heaven by DJ Sammy with Yanou and featuring Do.
