The New Zealand-born and Australian-raised songwriter’s success began in 1983, when he entered the Australian TV talent show New Faces.

Urban’s first American album, which was also named Keith Urban, was released in 1999, and his single "Your Everything" hit No. 4. on the charts. The follow-up single titled, "But for the Grace of God,” became his first No. 1 hit. At the 2001 Academy of Country Music Awards, Urban was given the Top New Male Vocalist Award.
By 2002, Urban debuted his second American album, Golden Road, which featured the single "Somebody Like You,” which spent six weeks at No. 1.
Throughout his successful career, Urban also released albums, Be Here in 2004, Defying Gravity in 2009, Get Closer in 2010, Fuse in 2013, Ripcord in 2016 and Graffiti U in 2018.
