ABOUT
Born in Whangarei, Northland, New
Zealand (Oct 1967 (age 51) and raised in Australia, Keith Urban is one of country music’s biggest superstars and most
talented musicians. Keith released his debut self-titled album in 1999 on the
label he remains on today, Capitol Records Nashville, and has since continued
to entertain fans globally.
Keith Urban’s seventh studio album FUSE, his fourth #1 album, marked the first time that a male
Country artist has debuted atop the all-genre charts in the United States,
Canada and Australia. FUSE’s first single, “Little Bit of Everything”
took the top spot on the Country Singles Chart, as did “We Were Us”, featuring
Miranda Lambert, which gave Urban a streak of five consecutive #1 songs (dating back to 2011’s “Without
You”). In fact, with the release of
FUSE’s fourth single “Somewhere In My Car”, his third #1 from
the album, Keith extended his lead as the artist with the most consecutive top
10 songs on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart, a streak which started in August
of 2000.
FUSE is one of the most recognized albums of Keith’s career,
garnering 20 Award show nominations,
including two 2015 Grammy nominations
for Best Country Solo Performance (“Cop Car”) and Best Country Duo/Group
Performance (“Raise ‘Em Up” featuring Eric Church), as well as multiple CMA,
ACM and ARIA Award wins.
In 2001, the Country Music Association honored Urban with its Horizon Award, designating him a talented artist with a bright future. He was the first Horizon Award winner in history to go on to win the CMA’s Male Vocalist of the Year, a title he’s captured three times, and the coveted Entertainer of the Year. Since then Urban’s career has seen a long list of groundbreaking firsts and accomplishments reserved for the music industry’s elite.
Lionel Richie presented Keith (who was just
as shocked as anyone) with the CMA Entertainer
of the Year on Nov 14, 2018. His reaction was priceless. His wife Nicole
Kidman stood in the crowd watching as Urban took the award. Keith has been
nominated 11 times in the Entertainer category and this was his second win last
picking it up in 2005. He has been nominated
49 times for a CMA Award and has
13 wins.
He was the first Country artist to
be named an American Idol judge, a
role he will reprised for the show in its 14th season, and is a four-time GRAMMY® Award winner who has
also won a People’s Choice, American Music Award and been nominated for a
Golden Globe. He’s won eleven Academy of Country Music Awards and has had 17 #1
songs and five consecutive platinum or multi-platinum albums. In 2012 he became
a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
His reputation as a premier songwriter, vocalist, musician and
virtuoso guitarist has afforded Urban the opportunity to collaborate with the
likes of The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Steven Tyler, John Fogerty, Alicia
Keys, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift, Vince Gill, Eric Church and countless
others. He was asked to perform on both
nights of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival and on CBS’ “The Night That
Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles.”
