Biography

Brendon Boyd Urie (born on 12 April, 1987, Las Vegas, Nevada) is an American musician and the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and pianist of Panic! at the Disco. He also plays drums, bass guitar, accordion, organ and cello.

His musical career began when he met Brent Wilson during guitar classes which they shared. Consequently, Wilson asked Urie to try out as lead guitarist for Panic! at the Disco, as they were looking for a replacement at the time. Originally, Urie was not the band's lead singer; the position had belonged to Ryan Ross. However, when the band heard him sing backup during a rehearsal when Ross was unable to sing due to a cold, they were impressed with his vocal abilities and unanimously decided to make him the singer.

Since then, Panic! at the Disco have released two studio albums with Urie as lead vocalist. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was released in 2005 and their sophomore record, Pretty. Odd. in 2008.
