Early Life
Brendon Urie was born on April 12, 1987, in St. George, Utah. His family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was two years old. The youngest of five children, Urie grew up in a Mormon household but left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 17 due to personal beliefs.
From a young age, Urie was passionate about music, influenced by artists like Frank Sinatra, Queen, Tom DeLonge, and David Bowie. He attended Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas and worked at a smoothie shop to afford practice spaces for his early music endeavors. It was during high school that he met Brent Wilson, who invited him to join Panic! At the Disco as a guitarist. However, after hearing Urie’s impressive vocal range, the band members made him the lead singer.
Brendon Urie Career
Panic! At the Disco started as a Blink-182 cover band before creating original music. The band’s demo caught the attention of Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy, who signed them to Decaydance Records. Their debut album, “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out,” released in 2005, initially had slow sales. However, the success of the single “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” propelled the album to platinum status by 2006.
Their second album, “Pretty. Odd.,” was released in 2008 but did not match the commercial success of their debut despite positive critical reception. In 2009, the band underwent a major reformation, with Urie remaining as the only original member. He led the band through several more albums, including “Vices & Virtues” (2011), and continued to be the primary creative force behind Panic! At the Disco’s music as other members came and went.
