Keith Urban Music
Artist Overview
Though Keith Urban is a major US country star, he actually hails from Australia, where he began his career. After coming to America with his band the Ranch, Urban began making international inroads. As skilled at guitar playing as he was at singing, he did some session work for Garth Brooks and the Dixie Chicks before his solo career began to really take off. By 2000, though, Urban had his first big country hit, "It's a Love Thing," and he was off and running. In addition to being a consistent hitmaker, Urban has made the news for his dating life, including a long connection to actress and fellow Aussie, Nicole Kidman, with whom he has a child.
