Early musical beginnings
Urie met Brent Wilson at a highschool party. 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. Originally, Urie was not the band's lead singer. The position had belonged to Ryan Ross. 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. [1] Since then, Panic! at the Disco have released two studio albums with Urie as lead vocalist. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was released in 2005 and their sophomore record, Pretty. Odd. in 2008.
On Pretty. Odd., Urie also took lyrical responsibility and wrote two of the tracks on the record by himself; those tracks being "I Have Friends In Holy Spaces" and festival favorite "Folkin' Around". He also wrote their new single "New Perspective" from the soundtrack to the motion picture Jennifer's Body.
