Panic! At The Disco's Brendon Urie Has Opened A Music Studio For Young People

An amazing new music studio has opened in Las Vegas, with help from Panic! At The Disco's Brendon Urie.

Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco has long been one of rock's good guys, from raising a ton of money for his Highest Hopes Foundation charity (and releasing a metal Panic! song as a reward for fan donations), to promoting awareness of gun violence onstage.

Now, the Las Vegas musician has offered up an amazing present to his hometown: a music studio for The Boys & Girls Club in Henderson. According to KTNV, the new facility – titled the Notes For Notes Studio – was made possible thanks to Brendon's generosity along with a $500,000 donation from State Farm, and an estimated $10,000 worth of gear from The Fender Play Foundation.

Notes For Notes describes itself as a "non-profit organization that designs, equips, and staffs after-school recording studios inside Boys & Girls Clubs offering youth the opportunity to explore, create, and record music for free. N4N Studios are packed with professional instruments – guitars, basses, drums, keyboards/synths – and equipment – DJ gear, digital music workstations – and full recording facilities. Beyond providing access to equipment and resources, we educate youth about careers both on the stage and behind the scenes."
