Raised in Colorado and California, DeYoung is a graduate of the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artists Development Program. She won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 1992 and has been a regular performer at the Met ever since. In 1995 she was the recipient of the Marian Anderson Award. In 2009 she completed her Bachelor's Degree (that she had to put on hold after going to The Met's Young Artist Program) in Music from California State University Northridge.
