Called "Tejano music's Vince Gill", he has been widely recognized for his resonant baritone vocals, characterized by their emotive quality, and is considered a pioneer within the genre. Hobbs played a significant role in the expansion of Tejano music during the 1990s and became one of the most popular Tejano singers of the 1980s and 1990s.

Hobbs started playing piano and guitar at seven or eight and played the trumpet in high school. He played with local groups before forming the Hot Sauce band with Brando Mireles, recording songs for Hacienda Records, and taking the role of lead vocalist in 1983. At the 1984 Mike Chavez Music Awards, Hobbs received the award for Most Promising Vocalist. His songs, "Mentiras" and "Las Miradas", achieved commercial success and critical acclaim. By the late 1980s, Hobbs became one of the most popular Tejano singers following "La Miradas" ascending to number one on the Tejano Singles chart in 1991 and signed with EMI Latin. Ta Vas a Acordar (1993), was certified gold for reaching sales of 50,000 units, and its titular track peaked at number one on Radio y MusicaШаблон:'s Tejano Singles chart for nine weeks, the second-most weeks a song spent atop the chart in 1995. In a strategic endeavor to promote Hobbs in Mexico, EMI Latin rebranded his band from Hot Sauce to Grupo Mezquite in August 1994. Te Vas a Acordar ended 1994 as the 13th best-selling Regional Mexican Album in the United States.

Hobbs released Soy el Mismo in 1995, while it received a mixed response from music critics, it peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and number three on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart. "Por Favor Corazon" peaked at number 18 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and number 15 on the Regional Mexican Songs chart, and ended 1995 as the second-best Tejano single on Radio y Musica, while "Tu Me Haces Sentir" ended the year as the 13th-best Tejano single of 1995. Following the release of Corazon Ardiente (1996), Hobbs became a spokesperson for Coca-Cola. During a period of decline in the popularity of Tejano music and decreasing sales within the genre, Hobbs created his own record label and studio, Faith Digital Recording Studio and AMMX. After his contract expired with EMI Latin in 1998, Hobbs signed with Sony Discos. The singer received the BMI Songwriters Award in 1998 for "Buscando Un Amor" and "Corazon Ardiente" and in 1999 for "Comprendeme".

By 2001, Hobbs became independent and released subsequent albums through his AMMX label. At the 2020 Tejano Music Awards, Hobbs won Male Entertainer of the Year, after years of being nominated. On August 31, 2021, Hobbs launched his podcast Hanging With Gary, with co-host Johnny Davila. On April 20, 2022, Hobbs signed with Freddie Records, citing the label's ability to secure radio airplay for their artists as his reason, and released Sin Fin that December. In 2019, Hobbs received recognition from the Texas State Legislature, represented by Poncho Nevarez, for his contributions to Tejano music. In recognition of his humanitarian contributions, Hobbs was awarded the Humanitarian Award by the Tejano Entertainers and Musicians Association Awards (TEMA) in 1999.

The track was intended for inclusion on Hobbs' Solo Estas Noche (1992), though was omitted from the final tracklist, a lucrative misstep according to Cabrera.Шаблон:Sfn Hobbs recorded the song after listening to Lupita D'Alessio's rendition.Шаблон:Sfn

In March 1994, Hobbs recorded a pilot episode of Camino de Lagrimas, a Tejano telenovela that producers aspired to pitch to Spanish networks.Шаблон:Sfn Ta Vas a Acordar (1993) reached sales of 50,000 units and receive a gold certification in June 1994.Шаблон:Sfn Its singles, "Voy a Amarte" reached the third position,Шаблон:Sfn while "Te Vas a Acordar" peaked at number one on the Tejano Singles chart.Шаблон:Sfn In an effort to promote Hobbs in Mexico, EMI Latin endeavored to alter the singer's band name from Hot Sauce to Grupo Mezquite in August 1994,Шаблон:Sfn believing that Hot Sauce would not resonate with Mexican audiences. Hobbs perceived the name change as the second "dumbest thing I ever heard in my life", second only to Hot Sauce.Шаблон:Sfn According to Hobbs, Mezquite, the Spanish term for the mesquite tree, flourishes in his hometown and symbolizes his heritage. The singer commenced negotiations with Apodcada Promotions to secure management and booking arrangements in Mexico.Шаблон:Sfn As a jest, Hobbs would refer to his band as "the usual suspects", a phrase from the film Casablanca (1942), which reminded him of the constant turnover of its members.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Listen At the 1995 Tejano Music Awards, "Te Vas a Acordar" garnered nominations for Song of the Year and Single of the Year, while Hobbs received a nomination for Male Entertainer of the Year, and Te Vas a Acordar was nominated for Album of the Year.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Sfn By May 1995, Te Vas a Acordar had sold 90,000 units,Шаблон:Sfn and its titular track spent nine weeks at number one on Radio y MusicaШаблон:'s Tejano Singles chart, securing the second-longest song that year, behind Selena's "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" (1994), which spent 13 weeks at the top spot.Шаблон:Sfn Within the album, "La Miradas", features a lyrical narrative that depicts the captivating gaze a woman employs to ensnare a man's affection, while the title track delves into the intricacies of lost love.Шаблон:Sfn Te Vas a Acordar ended 1994 as the 13th best-selling regional Mexican album and the 34th best-selling Latin album in the United States.Шаблон:Sfn "Tu Me Haces Sentir" made its debut at number 49 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, the week ending September 16, 1995,Шаблон:Sfn and became known as one of the most popular Tejano singers.Шаблон:Sfn

Hobbs released Sol el Mismo on March 7, 1995,Шаблон:Sfn and by May 1995 it sold 35,000 units.Шаблон:Sfn At the 1996 Tejano Music Awards, Soy el Mismo was nominated for Album of the Year.Шаблон:Sfn Hobbs, along with composer Carmen Ravenna, received the BMI Latin Songwriter award for their work on "Chiquitita, Chiquitita".Шаблон:Sfn In the music video for "Por Favor Corazon", Hobbs portrayed an outlaw from the 19th century, captured at the 64,000-acre Tinkler Ranch located in Fort Stockton. Hobbs revealed that the horseback riding scene proved physically challenging, resulting in some bruises, as it had been some time since he last mounted a horse when he was in high school.Шаблон:Sfn "Por Favor Corazon" debuted and peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and number 15 on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Songs chart, on the week ending May 20, 1995.Шаблон:Sfn "Chiquitita" peaked at number 34 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, on the week ending February 11, 1995.Шаблон:Sfn "Por Favor Corazon" ended 1995 as the second-best Tejano single on Radio y Musica, while "Tu Me Haces Sentir" was the 13th-best Tejano single of 1995.Шаблон:Sfn "Por Favor Corazon" was nominated for Song of the Year while Hobbs was nominated for Male Entertainer of the Year at the 1996 Tejano Music Awards.Шаблон:Sfn

Writing for Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Ramiro Burr expressed his disappointment with Soy el Mismo, labeling it as a disheartening letdown due to its tedious nature, largely attributed to the monotonous keyboard-synthesizer melodies.Шаблон:Sfn In contrast, Cabrera acknowledges Hobbs as an artist who crafts songs that leave a lasting impression on Soy el Mismo. Tracks such as the cumbias "Por Favor Corazon" and "Tu Me Haces Sentir" and the rancheras "Quiero Que Vuelvas" and "Esperando Tu Amor", showcase Hobbs' ability to deliver captivating melodies infused with heartfelt emotions, as noted by Cabrera.Шаблон:Sfn Paul Verna of Billboard, recognizing the comparatively lesser media coverage received by Hobbs in comparison to his contemporaries, noted that Soy el Mismo made "a strong debut" at number 20 on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.Шаблон:Sfn Soy el Mismo rose to number seven and debuted at number three on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart, taking the greatest gain in sales for the week ending April 1, 1995.Шаблон:Sfn Chito de la Torre of La Prensa, found the album's title ironic, considering the singer's transformation in image and the renaming of his band as part of his pursuit to establish a presence in Mexico. According to de la Torre, this transition became apparent when the singer donned Western attire at the 1995 Tejano Music Awards.Шаблон:Sfn

Following the release of Hobbs' album, Corazon Ardiente (1996), Cabrera perceived a departure from the customary style that Hobbs typically imbues into his musical offerings, finding Corazon Ardiente to surpass Soy el Mismo in terms of its impact. The lead single, "Buscando Un Amor", was released on June 27, 1996. Cabrera characterizes Hobbs' signature style throughout the album as melodic, polished, and engaging, exemplifying his artistry.Шаблон:Sfn At the 1997 Tejano Music Awards, Hobbs was nominated for Song of the Year for "Buscando Un Amor", while its album received the nomination for Album of the Year, and Hobbs was nominated for Male Vocalist and Male Entertainer of the Year.Шаблон:Sfn In 1996, Hobbs signed a contract with Coca-Cola,Шаблон:Sfn who subsequently became sponsors for his tours.Шаблон:Sfn "Buscando Un Amor" peaked at number 24 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and number 11 on the Regional Mexican Songs chart, in the week ending September 7, 1996.

1998–2000: Label change to Sony Discos

The popularity of Tejano music witnessed a decline in the aftermath of Selena's shooting death in March 1995, prompting major record labels to adopt a cautious approach in their dealings with Tejano singers, given the declining sales within the genre.Шаблон:Sfn In response, Hobbs established his own record label and studio, Faith Digital Recording Studio,Шаблон:Sfn circumventing the conservative strategies employed by major labels in response to the diminishing sales of Tejano music.Шаблон:Sfn

In September 1998, Hobbs's contract with EMI Latin expired, leading him to sign with Sony Discos.Шаблон:Sfn Hobbs expressed his belief that Sony would offer him the professional support he needed as an artist, facilitating the realization of his personal aspirations.Шаблон:Sfn Hobbs received the BMI Songwriters Award in 1998 for "Buscando Un Amor" and "Corazon Ardiente",Шаблон:Sfn while he and Carlos Javier Castillon were awarded the 1999 BMI Songwriters award for "Comprendeme".Шаблон:Sfn Hobbs released Mirame a Mi, his debut with Sony, featuring songs penned by Humberto Ramon with arrangement handled by Mireles.Шаблон:Sfn The singer was garnered sponsorship from Churches Fried Chicken and Sears.Шаблон:Sfn

The album's commercial impact instilled a sense of restlessness and was the first album to elicit concern from him. Sueno de Mi Corazon featured additions of the saxophone, accordion, and digitally altered vocals. While expressing a desire to explore Latin Christian music, Hobbs lamented Sony's reluctance to allow the release of both a Tejano and Christian album simultaneously, citing the need to avoid overlapping ventures.Шаблон:Sfn

"Sueno De Mi Corazon" garnered a nomination for Song of the Year at the 2001 Tejano Music Awards.Шаблон:Sfn "Simplemente Amigos" entered the top 20 on the Tejano Singles chart, while "Sueno de Mi Corazon" reached the top ten.Шаблон:Sfn "Dime Que Soy Tuyo" reached number four on the Tejano Singles chart,Шаблон:Sfn before peaking at number two in the week ending September 7, 2001.Шаблон:Sfn

This approach was inspired by Hobbs's admiration of these fusions he witnessed during performances on Univision and Telemundo.Шаблон:Sfn
