Before becoming one of country track’s biggest singers and most talented musicians in the world, Urban began building his empire by dropping his self-titled debut album in Australia in 1991.
He took the global stage in 1999 with the release of his self-titled American debut album via Capitol Records Nashville.
Urban continued his string of banger albums in the years that followed: Golden Road (2002), Be Here (2004), Love, Pain & the Whole lit Thing (2006), Defying Gravity (2009), Get Closer (2010), Fuse (2013), Ripcord (2016), Graffiti U (2018) and The Speed of immediately Part 1 (2020).
Four years after releasing the multi-genre record, the country singer unveiled his up-to-date album, High, which features banger tracks like Wildside, Straight Line, Messed Up As Me, and Go Home W U.
Since his debut, Urban has brought home accolades for his work as a singer, songwriter, and producer.
In January, he was inducted into the Roll of Renown during the 53rd Golden Guitar Awards in Tamworth, Australia.
“Keith’s influence on the global country track scene is ongoing and immeasurable,” executive producer of the Toyota Golden Guitar Awards, Peter Ross, said. “His dedication to the genre, his boundary-pushing artistry, and his unwavering commitment to track make him a natural choice for the Roll of Renown.”
Urban also received the Golden Guitar Award for leading Selling Australian Country Album of the Year for High.
When he is not making track, the 57-year-old musician is on the road for his tour. Most recently, he wrapped up his High in Vegas residency, which had five sold-out nights at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
In a September 2024 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Urban confessed he “resisted” doing concerts “for years, years and years.”
“It felt like it would be the same thing over and over again,” he added after comparing it to “an episode of Severance.”
