*[[Hirono, Iwate|Hirono]]
===Early life===
*[[Karumai, Iwate|Karumai]]
Brendon Boyd Urie was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. He grew up with five older brothers, and one older sister. He grew up listening to many [[Christian Hardcore]] bands in the area and also learned CPR while learning how to be a vet. Although his family had a strong belief in Mormonism, Urie became unactive afer graduating High School. Bandmate [[Ryan Ross]] says that Urie is no longer "the good [[Mormon]] boy he once knew." After graduation, Urie's parents strongly encouraged him to attend college, but against their wishes he chose to pursue his interests in music and helped get Panic at the Disco off the ground. Urie was later asked to leave his home and his disapproving parents upon deciding to pursue Panic, and was forced to rent a one room apartment with only his job at a local Smoothie Hut to support himself, as well as help pay for the rent of the band's practice space. <ref>{{cite web

When asked in a recent ''Kerrang!'' interview about the last CD Urie purchased, he answered "Legend by [[Bob Marley]]. I went to see my family a little while ago. They're [[Hawaiian]] and like to listen to lots of island music, so I rediscovered his music while I was around them." <ref>{{cite web

===Panic at the Disco===
It was at Palo Verde High School, in his guitar class, that Urie met [[Brent Wilson]]. Wilson had asked Urie to try out as lead guitarist for [[Panic At The Disco]], as they were looking for a replacement at the time. <ref>{{cite web

However, when the band heard him sing backup during a rehearsal, they were impressed with his vocal abilities and unanimously decided to make him the singer. <ref>{{cite web

In order to promote their music, the band contacted [[Fall Out Boy]] bassist [[Pete Wentz]], through [[LiveJournal]], and sent him a link to their [[PureVolume]] site along with their three recorded songs, "Time to Dance" and "Nails for Breakfast,Tacks for Snacks" which at the time were unnamed. Wentz was so impressed that he took a trip to Las Vegas to meet the band in person. After seeing them play acoustically in their garage, he asked if they would sign with his [[Fueled by Ramen]] imprint label [[Decaydance]] even though they had only two songs and had never played a show. The band then made an agreement with Wentz to record an album in College Park, [[Maryland]] once Brendon had graduated from high school.
