Vital Statistics

Real name: Keith Lionel Urban

Birthdate: October 26 1967

Birthplace: New Zealand

Height: 5' 10" 

Childhood Dream: To be a Country Music Star to which end he learned to play the guitar at age 6 and began winning talent contests at age 8.

Inspiration: Urban became enthralled with Country Music while listening to his parents' country records collection that included such American Country stars as Don Williams, Glen Campbell and Charley Pride, among others. By twelve, he was booking his band in local clubs, and at fifteen, he quit school to hit the road.

Breakthrough: After signing with EMI in Australia in 1990, Urban's first solo album charted four number one country hits Down Under. He moved to Nashville in 1992 to break into the Country scene in America. His self-titled American debut in 2000 garnered three top 5 hits and won Urban the title of Top New Male Vocalist Award at the 2001 Academy of Country Music Awards.

Past Loves: Urban and former girlfriend, Niki Taylor, were a couple for almost 12 months but split in 2003. The singer has said in the past that his career is too demanding a mistress for him to keep a relationship going.

Personal Demons: Urban has been very open about his battles with alcohol and addiction to cocaine in the late 90s. In 1998 he checked into the Cumberland Heights treatment center in Nashville and cleaned up his act.

Good Samaritan: In 2002, Urban was passing a wedding chapel in Pigeon Forge, TN, where he heard his hit "Your Everything" playing. He grabbed a guitar and surprised the newlyweds by playing the song in person.

Hottie Factor: Chosen as one of People Magazine's 25 Sexiest Men last year, Urban has some catching up to do to reach all Tom's accolades. But no need to worry when women shout out marriage proposals at all of your concerts.

Marriage Could Boost His Acting Career: The gorgeous Urban is poised to make his mark in Hollywood. He's been signed to star in a romantic drama that will begin shooting early next year. He performed in a theater group as a kid and wants to revisit those talents. Now that Oscar-winner Nicole has almost as much weight to throw around in the business as her ex-hubby, Tom, a liaison with the lovely lady can only open even more doors for Urban.
