Keith
Urban’s biography
Full name: Keith Lionel Urban
26-10-1967
Born in New
Zealand, raised in Australia.
Keith
Urban playing guitar when he was around 6 years old.
He
didn’t only play guitar, but he also followed acting- and singing courses at a
theater school in the neighborhood.
He soon
discovered he had a preference for country music. He really liked artists as Don
Williams and Carrie Underwood. Later, he discovered the band Dire Straits, and
the guitar playing of the lead guitarist kind of hypnotized him. Since Keith
really liked Dire Straits, he started to learn all the licks and solo’s etc. of
this band, and kept on developing his guitar skills.
Those
artists were the inspiration of Keith’s own music style nowadays; Country rock.
Country
rock is country combined with classic rock, with the accent on the lead guitar.
The
special thing about this style, is that the style wasn’t mainly developed by
many guitarist, but just by special one, which is in my opinion the hardest
thing of being a musician; developing your own style, and making others like
it.
Keith
Urban’s break-through was in the 90’s with his first album, called ‘Keith

the release of this album, he started performing a lot, and many more albums

Keith
Urban’s latest album ‘fuse’ has just been released. The special thing of this
album is that Keith Urban has pretty many songs with other artists. None of the
songs of other albums are songs featuring somebody.
Right now,
after the release of his album, Keith Urban is busy making an own series of guitars.
Those guitars
are made that way, they’re perfect for the songs of Keith Urban; those guitars
have a sharp country sound, and are easily playable for the solo’s in his
songs.
