Born in New Zealand, Keith Urban learned to play guitar as a 6-year-old in Australia, and at 8, Urban was winning talent shows. Winning has come naturally to Urban ever since, starting with his first award as a solo artist in 2001, the Country Music Association Horizon Award. Along the way, Urban has earned more than 12 awards from the CMA, the Country Music Television Music Awards, the Academy of Country Music and the GRAMMY® Awards. He also married his wife, actress and fellow Australian Nicole Kidman, in 2006.

Since 2001, Urban has sold more than 10 million copies of his five albums. Urban is not only a talented singer and entertainer, he also is incredibly talented with a multitude of instruments. Urban plays acoustic and electric guitar, piano, ganjo (a six-string banjo with the neck of a guitar), slide guitar and mandolin. Urban truly shines on stage, and has the ability to stretch out musically and to connect with his audience.
