Boyzone debuted with their first single 'Working My Way Back To You' in 1993.  This failed to attract the pop audience and Boyzone had to wait for their next single in 1994, 'Love Me For A Reason' to make a difference striking the UK No.2 singles position.  'Father And Son' followed in the string of successful Boyzone singles.  The Cat Stevens song which Keating had performed early on in his rise to fame was now a memorable Boyzone release.  'Words', the song famously written and performed by the Bee Gees won Boyzone's deserved UK No.1 singles position.

Boyzone went on to release No.1 albums: 'Said And Done', 'A Different Beat', 'Where We Belong' and the group's greatest hits album, '...By Request'.

April 1998 saw Keating marry Yvonne Connelly, a model from Ireland.  Only earlier, Ronan took on a managerial role alongside Louis Walsh to co-manage a new all-male formation by the name, Westlife.

In 1999, Ronan became the first Boyzone member to head a solo challenge and released the distinctive 'When You Say Nothing At All' in 1999.  This romantic ballad received special attention because of its feature in the big hit movie, 'Notting Hill' starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.  But, Ronan had performed the song so well and established his capability to go solo.  The big single reached the UK's No.1 singles position on its debut.

In March 1999, Ronan Keating became a father.  He and Yvonne were delighted over the birth of their first child, a boy they called Jack.

Ronan Keating began taking on solo tours through the summer of 2000 with promotions in places from Europe to as far as the Far East.  This he followed up with his debut UK and Ireland tour in an attempt to demonstrate his solo live performances to fans closer to home.  By the end of 2000, Ronan Keating could be proud of a No.1 single, No.1 album, a special video/DVD concert recording, a completed and highly successful sell-out UK and Ireland tour and optimistic prospects for his solo career.  20th November 2000 saw Ronan release his second single, 'The Way You Make Me Feel'.  This more mellow release debuted at No.6 in the UK singles chart but still retained the quality of Ronan's music and performance.

The start of 2001 saw the approach of a new fourth single and a second big UK and Ireland tour following the massive success of the first tour at the end of 2000.  'Lovin' Each Day' was released to the UK on the 16th April 2001.  This new single not originally featured on the first 'Ronan' album release was performed to fans on Keating's first tour.  Written by the same master songwriters, Gregg Alexander and Rick Nowels, who wrote Keating's debut single, 'Life Is A Rollercoaster' the new upbeat offering lived up to expectations and scored successfully becoming a UK No.2 single on its debut.  The new single was bundled onto a re-release of 'Ronan' on the 23rd April 2001.

Throughout May 2001, Ronan won the praise of millions of fans on another massive sell-out tour.  By now, Ronan Keating was definitely a household name in the pop business.

The goals for Ronan Keating by mid 2001 were much greater.  They involved conquering the global music market and first stop was the USA.  Keating had been busy promoting 'Lovin' Each Day' and 'Ronan' in the States in attempt to break the biggest world music market and finally establish world dominance.  Prospects of a second studio album were also in the pipeline by then and involved much collaborative work from massive music artists including The Pogues lead singer, Shane MacGowan, Paul Brady and Cathy Dennis, as well dedicated work from Alexander and Nowels and Callum MacColl.

Towards the end of 2001, signs of a new single were on the horizon.  There were many suggestions as to what was to be released but eventually all was known and the new release came by the name of 'If Tomorrow Never Comes', a cover of a song performed and co-written by famous country music star, Garth Brooks.  This was in keeping with Ronan's own liking of Brooks' music.  Brilliantly covered, Ronan demonstrated that his new material was well-received and this was proven when one week after the single's release on the 6th May 2002, it scored the UK No.1 singles position.  Clearly, 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' represented new, fresh material which Ronan termed "a body of work" and one that he expressed he had invested in more personally.  The new album that brings all this new material together is called 'Destination' and this includes songwriting contributions from Keating and also from Alexander and Nowels, plus other major songwriters such as Jeremy Godfrey and Bill Padley.  'Destination' was released on the 20th May 2002 and despite Ronan being nervous again on the eve of another album release, he need not fear for this second solo album reached the UK No.1 albums position and this undoubtedly represented an excellent progression in Keating's solo career in the right direction.  'Destination' includes songs which on the whole are comparatively more uplifting than his first album.  Furthermore, many will be familiar with Keating's distinctive deep voice and so it will be interesting to note that he has perfectly changed his style of voice to suitably fit in with the songs he performs on the new album and this has certainly been noticed by many fans and close followers of Keating alike.

With Keating now in massive celebration over two huge No.1 albums and a brilliant first No.1 single off his new album, he can look forward to an exciting sell-out tour which unlike any before now sees him touring the four corners of the globe.  There's prospects for further 'Destination' single releases and for Ronan Keating, things have never looked so good!
