| - Brendon Urie is Awesome
- Urie was born in St. George, Utah. He is the fifth and youngest child born to Grace and Boyd Urie, and is of native Hawaiian descent on his mother's side. He was raised in a Mormon family. Urie attended Palo Verde High School where he met future ex-Panic bassist Brent Wilson in his guitar class. Wilson asked Urie to try out for a band he was in, since they needed a replacement guitarist. Urie described himself as a "spaz in high school", and explained that one student would always bully him. He worked at Tropical Smoothie Cafe in order to pay his band's rent for their practice space. At the cafe, Urie often sang for customers. He explained, "I would sing anything I was listening to at the time, but I was down to take requests. I remember singing some Scorpions songs, some W.A.S.P. 80s anthems are usually good for tips. It was a huge range of stuff. Some people liked it, and some people didn't. I had to respect other people's wishes, but I had a couple people come in who would ask me to sing for a tip. That's always fun."

He was raised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (Mormon) in Summerlin, Nevada (a small community in Las Vegas). Urie went to Palo Verde High School, where he met Brent Wilson. Wilson introduced him into his band, which consisted of Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith, and their friend Trevor. Brendon auditioned to be their guitarist, but upon hearing him sing, then-singer Ross decided that Brendon was best suited for vocals. Following a fight with his parents, Urie moved out of his house and into a small apartment. He supported himself working at the local Smoothie Hut until Panic at the Disco was signed by Pete Wentz (bassist of Fall Out Boy) to his co-owned record label, Fueled By Ramen. Urie is no longer a practicing Mormon.
