Greyson Chance Boy Wonder

Greyson Chance has been featured in quite a few entertainment and lifestyle articles across the web but one of the most well written, all-telling ones yet was just published by Justine Koh of The Urban Wire and we had to share it with you!

Koh reviews some of the highlights of Greyson’s young career, where he came from and how he got to where he is as well as what sets him apart from the crowd

“His sincerity and maturity shines through in his first release “Hold On ‘til the Night”, a collection of sophisticated piano-driven pop songs that project his wonderful emotional range. It makes you thankful that this is a far cry from the bubblegum pop album – vapid tween anthems included – you’d expect from a pop singer his age.”

greyson-chance-the-urban-wire-2 She talks about Greyson in many different lights, “The Overnight Sensation”, “The Ambitious Artiste”, “The Hardworking Student”,  ”The First-Time Actor”, “The Media-Savvy Nice Guy”, “The Prankster”, “The Tourist in Singapore” and beleive it or not, “The Insecure Teen”.

“Since his much talked-about debut in 2010, Greyson has been nothing short of a welcome relief in the overcrowded pop scene of today. Whether the impassioned singer-songwriter is standing up for what he believes in through his many different undertakings or delivering his wisecracks with a twinkle in his eye, one thing you can be sure of is that he isn’t going to let show biz change him.”

We invite you to read the complete article over at The Urban Wire.

Greyson Chance PopCrush Interview

Greyson Chance sat down with PopCrush for an interview during the Waiting 4 U tour.

Greyson talked about his upcoming debut album, Hold on ‘Til the Night, his touring experience and much more!

We’ve gone through and picked out some of the questions and answers from Greyson which we found most interesting.  You can view the interview in its entirety over at PopCrush.

Tell us — how did you and Cody Simpson get paired up for this tour?
Well, you know, me and Cody met and thought, ‘Why don’t we do a tour together?’ We got along very well, it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Do you have any family on the road with you?
Yeah — Cody has his whole family, and I have my mom or dad with me at all times.

Are you in charge then, since it’s your tour — your career?
No, not really. [Laughs] My mother lets me stay up as late as I want, though.

So since your mom is on the road, does she do your laundry for you?
Of course! I don’t even know how to do laundry.

Tell us what your daily schedule is like when you have a show.
Usually I wake up in the morning and do school for a couple of hours. Then, I go get lunch, I take a shower, it’s around like 1 … Then I have a couple of interviews, then around like 3 or 4 I do soundcheck. Then around 5 I’m doing more interviews and then I start prepping for the show, I get ready, I listen to some hard rock n’ roll to get pumped! And then we have the show. After that I do about an hour-long meet and greet with everybody, and then maybe a couple more interviews, a phoner, and then I have to finish up my day — I have a couple videos I have to do, a couple journals I have to type out, and then I go to bed and do it all over again!

 

So you’re living…
I live in L.A. now. Well, I still have my house in Oklahma, and my dad and my sister and sometimes my mom are in Oklahoma. We still have our house, we still have everything there, but I’m always in L.A., constantly.

That’s a huge change in such a short amount of time! What’s that like?
Well, it’s fun! I don’t really have a home anywhere, I’m on a tour bus most of the time so I’m almost constantly traveling.

What do you think has been your coolest experience on this tour so far?
I think it’s just, every night — and I say this about every tour — to be on tour is another mountain in its own, it’s another adventure. In every city we have different girls, we have different experiences, and it’s just so much fun seeing all of the fans performing all of the music — it’s just a blast.

How do you keep busy on the bus when you’re driving between cities?
You know, it’s not too hard. We’re usually either watching movies or sleeping, because we’re always traveling at night. I listen to my iPod a lot and just chill out.

What are you listening to lately?
I’ve been very inspired lately by old rock ‘n’ roll. I’m very into Journey, and AC/DC and lots of different things.
