Keith Urban - biography, music albums
Keith Urban was born 26 October 1967 in Whangarei, New Zealand. Guitarist Keith Urban made his name by mixing Nashville sounds with the scruffy rock-n-roll looks of Kurt Cobain. Urban was born in New Zealand and grew up in Australia; determined to be an entertainer, he quit school as a teenager and began singing and playing guitar professionally. A 1990 record deal with EMI produced his first album, Keith Urban. The album spawned several hit singles in Australia and prompted Urban’s 1992 move to Nashville, Tennessee, the hub of the country music industry. He found work as a session guitarist and had modest success with the band The Ranch, then went solo. His 1999 American debut album (also titled Keith Urban) yielded three top hits and won him the Academy of Country Music Award as Top New Male Vocalist. His 2002 release, Golden Road, was another hit and featured the single “Somebody Like You.” His 2004 album, Be Here, earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album. His album Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing was released in 2006. Keith Urban’s Musical Influences: Glen Campbell, Jimmy Webb, Don Williams, Mark Knopfler, Freddie Mercury, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Ronnie Milsap and Dolly Parton. Keith Urban’s Awards: 2001 ACM New Male Vocalist, 2001 CMA Horizon Award, 2004 CMA Male Vocalist, 2005 ACM Male Vocalist, 2005 ACM Album of the Year - Be Here, 2006 ACM Male Vocalist, 2006 CMA Male Vocalist.
