Urban breed is the former vocalist for Swedish heavy metal band Tad Morose. He appeared on A Mended Rhyme (1997), Undead (2000), Matters of the Dark (2002) and Modus Vivendi (2003). He left the band in December 2005.

Urban's style has been described as similar to Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio), Jon Oliva (Savatage, Taj Mahal), Zak Stevens (Savatage, Circle II Circle), and Mike Howe (Metal Church).

His other projects include Bloodbound. He sang on their 2005 debut, Nosferatu. In early August 2006 he announced that he was no longer working with the band. However, he later agreed to, and did, perform with Bloodbound at Sweden Rock Festival in June 2007, and the band announced in October 2007 that he had rejoined as an official member. He also contributed backing vocals on fellow Swedes Wolverine's 2003 album Cold Light of Monday. Urban is currently working on a solo album, anticipated to be finished sometime in 2007 (to be released in 2008), and announced a new project in October 2007 called Trail of Murder with Pelle Åkerlind (Morgana Lefay, Bloodbound) and Daniel Olsson (ex-Tad Morose).
