Keith Urban Posts Adorable Childhood Photo
Keith Urban posted a cute photo of himself on Instagram, asking fans to sign up for messages to get the latest news on his new music, leading up to his September High album release.
In the early childhood snap, Keith looks to be about 10 and is holding a guitar wearing a plaid shirt and jeans. The photo is from his childhood in Australia, where Urban told us he had been making music and working to make a name for himself in country music since about age five.
Keith captioned the photo, “If you haven’t signed up for the SMS list yet, today would be a good time to do so (google eyes emoji) sending everyone a sneak peek of a new song tomorrow ! link in bio & stories to join.”
Many of his almost four million followers reacted to the post, including one fan who said, “Keith is such a cute little boy he’s been playing guitar since he was a little boy that’s amazing.” Another die-hard gushed, “Little cutie!” One more fan commented, “Love the old house behind you.. can see where you grew up.”

Urban worked on his dream of country music superstardom since he was a child growing up in Australia. After moving to America in the early 1990s, he worked hard and made his dreams a reality.
Keith is often asked about the advice he would give to others trying to make a career out of the music genre they love, and he admits he’s not a fan of the question. He told us, “I always hate giving advice because everyone’s got their own journey, and there’s no rules. That’s number one, there are no rules.”
“That’s really what art is about. Art is about expressing truthfully. And everything they said you shouldn’t do, this person did, and it’s remarkable and unlike anybody else.”
Urban does know there is one thing you cannot be without on your journey to fame, “I do think one constant is having people around you that you really trust, who really have your back, and who are really going, to be honest with you and don’t have agenda pro or con.”
He concluded, “If they are true and you believe them, they can help you stay on track. I think that’s important, and I don’t think that’s ever gonna change.”
