A massive rise to online fame followed Keenan’s collaboration on August 28, 2010, when he lipsynched to the Katy Perry song Teenage Dream on YouTube. He subsequently went on to work with major celebrities. His Rolodex list of A-list celebs is very impressive.

Among the huge names that Keenan guested on his channel are Britney Spears, Jason Derulo, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Tyra Banks, David Guetta, Ariana Grande, LMFAO, Jennifer Aniston, 50 Cent, Flo Rida, Tinie Tempah, and Maroon 5.

When he was still a baby, Keenan was diagnosed with Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome. This is a rare genetic condition that progressively causes the body’s organs and tissues to enlarge. As a result, they become inflamed or scarred.

In some cases – as it would appear to be with Keenan – Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome can lead to heart problems.
