Corsten s-a manifestat in zona underground, la inceputul carierei sale. In munca de productie a intrat din anul 1991, an in care Ferry a reusit sa uluiasca scena dance internationala. Dupa ce primele productii lansate au fost din zona hardcore gabba, Ferry Corsten a devenit interesat de clubhouse si trance. Aceasta noua orientare s-a dovedit de bun augur pentru tanarul olandez. In 1996 Corsten si-a facut intrarea in UK Single Chart, pe locul 46, cu piesa 'Don't Be Afraid' (Moonman - primul sau proiect solo). Acest track a fost primul succes major al artistului, in calitate de artist solo, producator si compozitor.
In anul 1997, alaturi de partenerul sau Robert Smit, a pus bazele unui dance label, Tsunami. Pentru acest nou bussines a primit ajutorul companiei Purple Eye Entertainment b.v. Acest parteneriat s-a dovedit a fi un succes imediat. Tsunami a devenit unul dintre cele mai influente label-uri dance din industria de gen.
In februarie 1999, al doilea proiect solo al lui Ferry Corsten, System F, a fost lansat cu imprint-ul Tsunami. "Out Of The Blue" era un track melodic, deep si, in scurt timp, s-a transformat in cel mai mare track trance al anului 1999. Piesa a intrat in primele 20 in UK Single Chart si l-a pus pe Corsten pe harta dance mondiala. Corsten s-a implicat si in alte proiecte dance, notabile fiind Veracocha (un parteneriat cu Vincent de Moor, cu care a lansat "Carte Blanche") si Gouryella.
In mai 1999, Ferry Corsten si DJ Tiesto au lansat prima productie a duo-ului, intitulata "Gouryella". In UK Singles Top 75 a intrat direct pe locul 15. Urmatoarea aparitie Gouryella s-a intitulat "Walhalla" care intra in UK Single Chart pe pozitia 27. Corsten a decis sa se implice si in activitatea de remixer; a lucrat pentru William Orbit ("Adagio For Strings") si pentru faimoasa trupa U2 ("New Yesterday"). In luna octombrie 1999, toate eforturile olandezului sunt recunoscute, Corsten fiind ales "Producer Of The Year", in cadrul Ericsson Muzik Awards in Londra, unde a devansat artisti ca Puff Daddy si Rodney Jerkins. In septembrie 2000 este lansat al treilea single Gouryella, intitulat ''Tenshi''.
Urmatorul pas a fost recunoasterea calitatilor de DJ ale lui Ferry Corsten. Primul pas a fost facut in Inner City (Amsterdam), unde a performat in fata unei multimi uriase. Compilatia dance "Trance Nation", mixata de Ferry Corsten, a fost recompensata cu discul de platina.In paralel a continuat cu proiectul System F, cu care a lansat un nou single "Cry", despre care s-a spus ca a dus trance-ul la un alt nivel, prin combinatia unui vocal soulful, marca Saskia Lie Atjam, cu sound-ul trance, care i-a caracterizat fiecare productie si i-a adus faima internationala. "Cry" a fost produs de Ferry Corsten si Robert Smit, fiind lansat cu un pachet de remix-uri de la Rank 1, Oliver Lieb si Ferry Corsten.
Albumul de debut al artistului se intituleaza "Out Of The Blue" si a aparut in data 26 martie 2001. Una dintre piesele de pe acest LP, intitulata "Dance Valley theme 2001", a fost realizata special pentru festivalul Dance Valley. Acesta este unul dintre cele mai mari evenimente dance outdoor din lume, bucurandu-se de participarea a peste 80.000 de fani ai muzicii dance. Corsten este unul dintre pionierii muzicii trance, este o forta in industria muzicii electronice, nu a incetat nici o clipa sa-si uimeasca fanii si nu a refuzat nici o provocare a muzicii dance contemporane.
Ferry Corsten este singurul artist din muzica dance, care a reusit sa se impuna in chart-urile de specialitate din Marea Britanie, avand in palmares 10 discuri de aur (remixul Madagascar in 1999, Out Of The Blue - System F, Gouryella si Walhalla in 2000, Cry si  Dance Valley Theme  in 2001, Exhale - System F cu Armin van Buuren, Punk in 2003, Rock Your Body Rock in 2004).
Corsten se afla in spatele proiectului Japanese Popstar, Ayumi Hamasaki, single-ul "Connected", lansat in 2003, fiind vandut in 4 milioane de exemplare.
''Right Of Way'', lansat in 2003, este primul album care apare sub numele Ferry Corsten. Albumul ''arunca'' 3 piese in Topul UK: Punk (# 29), Rock Your Body (# 11) si It`s Time (# 51). Alte piese de succes, care apar pe acest album sunt: Whatever, Startraveler si Right Of Way.
In anul 2004 a fost nominalizat la categoriile: Best International DJ, Best Compilation (Ferry Corsten: Mixed Live), in cadrul Miami Winter Music Conference si la Best National DJ, Best Video ("Rock Your Body Rock") in cadrul TMF (Dutch MTV) Awards, in Olanda.In acelasi an, a ocupat locul 5 in Top 100 DJ Mag (Marea Britanie) si locul 4 in BPM Magazine (Statele Unite).
In 2005 infiinteaza propria casa de discuri, Flashover Recordings, unde si lanseaza albumul sau ''L.E.D.'' in 2006. Track-ul sau Fire a fost nominalizat la categoria cel mai bun videoclip trance.
Pe 4 iulie 2007 Corsten debuteaza in primul sau show radio saptamanal, numit Corsten`s Countdown, care difuzeaza cele mai bune piese trance prin voturile ascultatorilor.
Anul 2008 a fost un an creativ pentru Corsten. A intrat in studio si a lucrat la un nou album, intitulat "Twice In A Blue Moon". Titlul acestui album spune aproape totul! Data lansarii a coincis cu aparitia celei de-a doua editii din "Full Of Ferry The Masquerade", eveniment ce are loc la Ahoy in Rotterdam, si anume 1 noiembrie 2008. Noul LP intitulat "Twice In A Blue Moon" a fost lansat oficial. Acesta vine dupa legendarul "L.E.F", care i-a adus lui Corsten statutul de superstar al stilului trance. Una dintre piesele din acest album este noul single "Radio Crash" . Este unul dintre track-urile care a  intrat printre preferintele DJ-ilor si ale publicului, de la inceputul pana la sfarsitul verii 2008. Suportul , de care s-a bucurat aceasta productie a fost urias, Ferry Corsten fiind sustinut de Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Above & Beyond! Single-ul "Radio Crah" a aparut pe 13 octombrie, in toate tipurile de format.
