Through his brother, he was introduced to British acting legend Richard Wilson (known for his roles in BBC's 'One Foot in the Grave', 'Merlin' and ‘Tutti Frutti’) who then starred in the music video for Quinny's festive tune 'Christmas Gear', released in December 2019.

Not long after arriving in Melbourne, his song 'Found & Lost' won the 2020 Darebin Songwriters' People's Choice Award, receiving local support and radio play.

ALTER ECHO

alter echo is… Keegan Joyce. alter echo signifies a new stage in Keegan’s musical life. The moniker is a reference to Greek mythology and a play on ‘alter ego.’ “I wanted to get away from the narcissism of my own name, what better way than to name myself after Echo, who fell in love with Narcissus, but was cursed to repeat the last words spoken to her and couldn’t convey her feelings. Also the algorithm sometimes pairs ‘Keegan Joyce’ with comedy podcasts and my music isn’t that funny.”
