Lee Kernaghan was born in Corryong VIC, on the foothills of the Snowy Mountains high country. The son of a truck driver and later multi-platinum recording artist Ray Kernaghan, Lee spent his formative years growing up in the Riverina country of Southern NSW.


Lee's Grandfather was a third generation drover and his experiences on the road with his Pop ran deep, producing a string of hits that began with the release of his first album, the ARIA Award winning The Outback Club in 1992. His first number one hit Boys from the Bush became an anthem, a celebration of a way of life that connected with the hearts and minds of a younger generation of rural Australians.


Throughout his career Lee Kernaghan has dominated the charts with successive hit albums and has been awarded 27 Golden Guitars, 3 ARIA Awards and has had 26 number one hits and 10 hit albums - all of which have achieved Platinum or better sales. He was recently named the biggest hit-maker of the last twenty years on the Australian Country Tracks Chart 2009.


Kernaghan's dynamic live performances have been a trademark to his stellar career which has enabled him to take country music 'out of the box'. He has an undisputable passion for his music and his country and was named 2008 Australian of the Year.


On November 6, 2009 Lee Kernaghan released his latest collection of songs, Planet Country.
