Dennis Deyoung

 Founder of the noted band Styx, Dennis DeYoung is a musician, songwriter, singer and producer known for his rock music. From 1961 till 1999 Dennis has been the lead vocalist, songwriter and keyboardist of the band. Born in Chicago, DeYoung started his career as a vocalist at the age of 14. He made a combo with his neighbors John Panozzo and Chuck thus making a trio ready to spread their talent across the globe. In 1960’s the band named themselves as Tradewinds with the inclusion of two guitarists John Curulewski and James Young.
The humble beginnings of the band all started when DeYoung started teaching music at Kolmar School. It was during this time that the band went on playing at a number of venues. From school auditoriums to small venues, the band became nationally famous as they played the song Lady. This won them national, international and global fame thus relishing the wonders of stardom. As a lead keyboardist in the band Styx, DeYoung managed to gain prominence for his lead solo synthesizer performances with a unique tone. This made the band Styx stand out of the ordinary bands.
DeYoung experimented with the beats and tried the combination of rock while synthesizing too. With the traditional theatrical rock touch in the songs, Dennis DeYoung had a grandiose style which was unique yet special to Dennis in its own way. As Shaw departed from the band, DeYoung thought of making a start in his solo career which he initiated in 1984. The debut album Desert Moon hit the top 10 and was also certified gold in Canada. One of the most appreciated single of the band was Don’t Wait for Heroes which reached Billboard top 100 rating as well. Although it might not be a big label success but surely a matter of pride for Dennis as he was taken with much appreciation by the public and music lovers. DeYoung released his second album Back to the World in 1986 and the third album Boomchild that was released in 1988 received a comprehensive amount of music video play.
 
After the lapse of five years, Styx was rumored to have reunited. In 1989, the band thought of working together once again. DeYoung contributed to the band by writing a number of songs. It was during this time that the band had a limited time bonding with A&M Records but the band broke up again and a time of instability garbed the band. Although DeYoung was active in his solo career so not much really affected him which gave him an added advantage to focus on his abilities as a singer and flourish them more.  DeYoung tried his best to keep the differences aside especially when performing with Styx but something or the other reappeared as the group reunited. Finally Dennis DeYoung started experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome which disabled him from encountering bright light and music. This limits him from performing on stage and thus Dennis DeYoung stepped aside from the band.
 
In 2000 DeYoung was approached to perform solo performance on stage. Eventually the concert was arranged in Chicago which appeared more of a family affair as the family members became part of the band too. His sister-in-law and wife performed at the backup while the daughter managed publicity issues. The son took the task of lighting on stage and thus the concert turned out to be a marvelous effort.
