Early childhood and educational background

He is the son of Grace and Boyd Urie, a family of Mormons, but abandoned religion at the beginning of his career. He studied at Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas, during which he also worked at Tropical Café Smoothies in his hometown. According to people who worked with him, he was a quiet, shy guy who sang the songs that were played on the radio. He was expelled from home, when he decided not to pursue law school to pursue a musical career.

Urie’s breakthrough

His musical career began when he met Brent Wilson, who he studied with in the same class, who asked Uri to become a guitarist for Panic! At the Disco, as they were looking for a replacement at this time. At first Uri was not a leading vocalist, as this position belonged to Ryan Ross. However, when he demonstrated his sing abilities to, the band members decided to make him a singer. After that, Panic! At the Disco released five albums in which Uri was a vocalist – “A Fever You Cannot Sweat Out” was released in 2005, “Pretty. Odd.” (2008), “Vices & Virtues” (2011), “Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die !” (2013) and “Death of a Bachelor” (2016) – all except the first entered the Billboard Albums chart, and achieved either gold or platinum certification.

Side projects

Brandon Uri filmed and sang in many clips, including with Patrick Stump in the song of The Cab “One of Those Nights”. Uri also participated in the songs of the band Fall Out Boy, and was heard in the compositions “What a Catch, Donnie”, “20 Dollar Nose Bleed” and “7 Minutes in Heaven”, in which he performed backing vocals. Also as a backing vocalist, he can also be heard in the composition “Plans and Reveries” by the band Black Gold. In 2008, Uri collaborated in the song of Coca-Cola Company – “Open Happiness” – written by Butch Walker.

Unbreakable Brendon Urie

In 2006, during a presentation of Panic! At the Disco at the Reading Festival, Urie was hit in the head by a bottle thrown from the audience just seconds after the band took the stage. As a result of the blow, he lost consciousness and had to be resuscitated for several minutes, but despite suffering a concussion, the set of the band continued. In an article for NME, Urie spoke about the altercation in Reading, explaining that he remembered that he was beaten and knocked out for a couple of seconds, then woke up and finished the set!

Personal life

Urie has been married to Sarah Orzechowski since 2013, and the two reside in Los Angeles, California. However, it has recently been announced that Brendon had to move out of his home, because he couldn’t bare the attention of fans.

Quotes

# Quote
1 (on how he felt about being voted as Worst Band of 2007 by NME) I don’t know. I don’t care. It’s like if we really cared in high school about like, who won best dressed or who got best eyes, you know. It’s just like a popularity contest that we don’t really care to run in.
2 (speaking about “Folkin’ Around,” a song from Panic’s album “Pretty. Odd.”) The song is very light-hearted, it’s just a bit of fun. For a couple of tracks [the rest of the band] let me explore the boundaries.
3 (about Las Vegas) It sucks. It’s horrible. There’s no places to play. There’s no real support for bands. No one really cares. Everyone plays death metal or post-hardcore screamo, and that’s pretty much it. Everyone sounds the same.
4 I’m a Ritalin kid, and I’ve always been very outgoing. I don’t have a problem performing in front of five thousand people.
5 (on the band members)We’re weird guys. I don’t know if a lot of people get our humor. A lot of people probably think we’re jerks. We’re real sarcastic. Really ironic and stuff. We mean well, but we joke around probably a lot more than we should.
6 (on people calling Panic At The Disco “emo”) It’s ignorant! The stereotype is guys that are weak and have failing relationships write about how sad they are. If you listen to our songs, not one of them has that tone. Emo is bullsh*t! If people want to take it for the literal sense of the word, yes we’re an emotional band, we put a lot of thought into what we do. People always try to stereotype us, but we don’t fit the emo stereotype.
7 I could never sing my own stuff cause I suck at writing poetry.
8 Ryan, I think, writes great lyrics. He’s really mature for his age. He’s a different thinker.
9 (when asked how he describes the band’s music) I don’t know. We don’t really fall under a label. It’s generally based around rock music, but I guess, theatrical rock? I don’t know. I can’t really describe it. I suck at that.
10 (when asked what advice he’d give to other young bands) My advice would be to take time with the music and writing, rather than just getting a song done, really thrown together, and go play a show. Live shows, for us at least, back home in Vegas, don’t seem to do anything. Bands can be playing for seven years and never get anything done. So, I guess, practice more and write music carefully.
11 (after he got hit in the right eye at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival during the opening song) You can’t take me out! Let’s see how well you guys do with my left side!
12 (in reference to which cartoon character he would be) “Actually you know what honestly, Elmer Fudd ’cause he carries a gun. So, you know, you’re always protected and he doesn’t let his speech impediment keep him down. He still hunts rabbits, wabbits.”
