Mini bio

How it started.

Brendon grew up in Las Vegas and joined Panic! At The Disco in 2004 after classmate Brent Wilson brought him into the group. He initially joined on guitar, then became lead singer after his bandmates heard him sing at rehearsal.

The breakout.

The band’s 2005 debut, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, introduced his voice to a wider audience. I Write Sins Not Tragedies reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. As the lineup changed, Brendon remained, eventually carrying Panic! as its sole official member.

Beyond the band.

He made his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots in 2017, contributed Not a Simple Sponge to SpongeBob SquarePants, and sang and co-wrote ME! with Taylor Swift and Joel Little. He also played drums on Mike Viola’s Rock of Boston.

A quieter chapter.

In January 2023, Brendon announced that Panic! would end after its tour so he could focus on his family. He returned for a fire relief benefit and Panic!’s When We Were Young performances in 2025, followed by anniversary releases revisiting the band’s earliest music.
