Personal Life

He is roughly one quarter Polynesian descent from Hawaii through his mother's side. He was raised in an LDS family, but left the faith around 17 due to displeasure with the church and not believing in its ideology. Urie attended Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas, where he met future 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." He explained that one student would always bully him during his time at school. He worked at Tropical Smoothie Cafe in order to pay his band's practice space rent. At the cafe, Urie often sang for customers when asked. 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 and some W.A.S.P. 80's anthems which are usually good for tips. It was a wide range of things. 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."

Singing Career
Urie met Brent Wilson while taking guitar classes offered at their high school and Wilson asked Urie to try out as lead guitarist for Panic! at the Disco, as they were looking for a replacement at the time.
