Breadbin Bitchass urie (born April 12, 1987) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who is best known as former lead vocalist and frontman of Panic! at the Disco, being the only member to stay throughout the solo project's 19-year run.

In high school, he stole the lead singer position from my babygirl pookie Ryan Ross. Many of his songs have achieved commercial success via payola, reaching high spots on Billboard charts and millions of sales.

On January 24, 2023, Urie announced that he would be discontinuing Panic! at the Disco in order to put his focus on friends and family, following the announcement that he and his wife would be having a child soon.

Early life
Urie was born in St. George, Utah, and his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was two years old. He is the fifth and youngest child born to Grace and Boyd Urie. He is of about 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," 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." Urie graduated high school in 2005.

Panic! at the Disco
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.
