Keith Lionel Urbahn, better known by his stage name Keith Urban, is an Australian-American musician who is most well-known for his work in country music. He was born on October 26, 1967.
Urban was born in Whangarei, New Zealand. He is the youngest child of Marienne and Robert “Bob” Urbahn (Urbanski). When Urban was two years old, his parents moved to Caboolture, Queensland, Australia. He was handed a ukulele when he was four years old after displaying an early interest in music. He started playing the guitar at age six. Urban’s inspirations started to emerge early on, reflecting his parents’ passion for country music. The convenience store his father owned had a sign in the window advertising a guitar teacher. Sue McCarthy, Urban’s teacher, started teaching him, and he started competing locally and acting in a local theatrical organization.
Rock guitarists Lindsey Buckingham and Mark Knopfler have been recognized as influencing Keith Urban’s guitar approach (Fleetwood Mac).
With four Grammy Awards, fifteen Academy of Country Music Awards—including the Jim Reeves International Award—13 CMA Awards, and six ARIA Music Awards under his belt, Urban is regarded as one of the top artists in his field. Urban also composed and performed the song “For You” from the movie Act of Valor, which led to nominations for Best Original Song at the 70th Golden Globe Awards and the 18th Critics’ Choice Awards, respectively.
