When Keith Urban first came to Nashville, few people believed he could really make it in the business. After all, what does a guy from the Land Down Under really know about American country music? Keith didn’t listen to these naysayers, however. He loved country music and he knew he could play it and sing it just as well as anyone else. He had been playing the guitar and singing in bands since he was a kid and had already proven himself in his native Australia. Yet he knew he’d have to do the same thing in the United States if he ever wanted to be taken seriously as an artist there. Over the next ten years, he struggled and worked hard. Finally, it all paid off, and Keith became what he is today one of Music City, USA’s hottest country stars.
