Keith Urban

With that silky voice and the
ability to play a gazillion
instruments (stringed and
percussion), it’s pretty
clear that Keith Urban, one of
the very few non-US country
music artists, is here to
stay. But his rise to the top
of country music in the United
States started miles away in
Australia with the release of
his self-titled album in 1991
under EMI Records.

After charting four singles
from this album, Keith headed
for the United States, and in
particular, Nashville,
Tennessee. In finding work as
a session guitarist for the
country music duo known as
Brooks & Dunn, he soon formed
a three-piece band called The
Ranch that released one album.

In wanting to pursue a solo
career, Keith worked with
Brett Manning (Vocal Coach to
the Stars) until he released
his self-titled album but this
time in the United States. And
in receiving acclaim in the
form of three top five hits as
well as the Top New Male
Vocalist Award from the
Academy of Country Music
Awards in 2001, it was pretty
clear that Keith had arrived.

From there on, every albums
such as Golden Road, Be Here,
Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy
Thing has made waves, and with
hits like Days go by, You’ll
think of me, You look good in
my shirt, Keith has made his
mark with almost ten U.S
number ones and a total of 9
studio albums.

And knowing the talent that
Keith has as both a performer
and a session musician,
there’s no doubt that his
contribution to country music
will only continue to reach
greater heights in the years
to come.
