While at Baylor, Keller spent time shadowing professionals in the fields of law, accounting, banking, and real estate. After visiting the university, Keller decided to attend, following in the footsteps of his sister and father who had previously attended the university. His parents informed him that they had already applied to Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where he was accepted. Mid-summer, he came to his parents and informed them that he wanted to go to college as his music career was not working out. The summer following his high school graduation he began to pursue a music career. Keller originally had no intention of attending college. The family moved to North Shore, outside of Houston.
