He debuted in 1993 alongside Keith Duffy, Michael Graham, Shane Lynch, and Stephen Gately, as the co-lead singer (with Gately) of Irish pop group Boyzone. His solo career started in 1999 and he has recorded eleven albums.

As a solo artist, Keating has sold over 20 million records worldwide alongside the 25 million records with Boyzone.[2][3][4] In Australia, he is best known as a judge on All Together Now (2018), The X Factor[5] (2010–14), and as a coach on The Voice Australia (2016).
