Styx originated in 1962 when 14-year-old DeYoung and brothers John and Chuck Panozzo got together in the basement of DeYoung's childhood home. Styx has since sold more than 35 million albums, with DeYoung penning eight of the band's nine Top Ten singles. Styx was the only band to ever record four consecutive triple platinum albums.

For more than four decades, DeYoung has been a singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and record producer. He has written and sung several classics including: "Lady," "Come Sail Away," "Best of Times," "Mr. Roboto," "Show Me the Way," "Desert Moon," "Don't Let It End," and the 1979 Peoples' Choice Award winner, "Babe." DeYoung has recorded seven solo albums, including Desert Moon, the title track of which achieved Top Ten status. He continues to tour with his rock band around the world.

DeYoung's songs have been featured in 15 major motion pictures including Virgin Suicides, Big Daddy, Detroit Rock City, and Disney's Atlantis, The Wild, The Karate Kid II, Shrek II, Mr. Woodcock, Underdog, and Fun With Dick and Jane. Four of DeYoung's songs are used in The Perfect Man in which he also made a cameo appearance.

Volkswagen turned "Mr. Roboto" into a hit national commercial, featuring two "Wayne's World" types jamming to the words "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto." In 1999, Hippo Records released The Ultimate Collection, a compilation of select songs from DeYoung's solo albums Desert Moon, Back to the Word, and Boomchild. In 2005, Universal Music Group re-released Desert Moon on CD, and a DVD of DeYoung's videos entitled The Best of Dennis DeYoung, The 20th Century Masters.

In 2010, DeYoung formed a new band dedicated to the legacy of Styx featuring August Zadra, Jimmy Leahy, Tom Sharpe, Craig Carter, John Blasucci, and Suzanne De Young. To date, this group has performed more than 150 concerts worldwide. DigitalDreamDoor.com named DeYoung as the #22 greatest rock keyboardist of all time and the #38 greatest rock vocalist of all time.
