After gaining popularity in 2010, he began getting a lot more opportunities on television. In 2011, he became part of the Danish award show, “TV 2 Zulu Awards 2011” in which he lip-synced the songs that were nominated for Hit of the Year Award. He also contributed to the song “Uncharted” by Sara Bareilles alongside Josh Groban and Adam Levine. In 2011, he also launched a fundraiser campaign by performing the song “Dynamite” alongside Cody Ross and Brian Wilson of the San Francisco Giants. He was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and was then invited by Katy Perry to perform “Teenage Dream” during her California Dreams Tour. With his continued success and the numerous opportunities given to him, his net worth has consistently risen.
Afterwards, he would exchange words with WWE wrestler The Miz which eventually led to a “lip-sync battle” video. Keenan was then awarded a J-14 Award for Viral Web Star and would have a documentary aired on NT1 which was reportedly watched by five million people. He also had another documentary show on France’s M6, and appeared live at the Grand Ole Opry with The Oak Ridge Boys to perform the song “Wat’cha Gonna Do” which had been released as a lip-sync video earlier in the year. Eventually, he released his own website apart from YouTube, which showcases his lip-sync videos. Over the next few years, he would release three songs through iTunes, including “Hands Up” featuring ElectroVamp, “Closer” featuring SHY & DRS, and “Back to Us” featuring Lovey James.
Aside from his videos, he’s launched his own clothing brand called “Just Love Apparel” which is inspired by the hearts in his videos. He wore a shirt from his collection in an appearance on “America’s Got Talent”, and the business has helped somewhat with his net worth.
For his personal life, it is known that Keenan has Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome which affects his body development. He has an appearance similar to people with dwarfism, so his body is shortened with restricted movement. He was diagnosed with the syndrome when he was one year-old, and was given a bone marrow transplant to slow the disease’s progression. Since then, he’s had multiple surgery procedures to help alleviate some of the problems he’s been having such as intracranial pressure, necessary so that he would not be confined to a wheelchair.
