Greyson Chance Writing New Music

Greyson Chance YouTube Sensation

GreysonChanceWeb.com was established to follow the new YouTube sensation, Greyson Michael Chance.  Greyson is the twelve-year-old singer, songwriter and pianist who took the internet by storm only a short time ago.

It was April 2010 when Greyson performed at the Edmond music festival, singing his version of Lady GaGa’s “Paparazzi”.  Shortly after the performance Greyson posted a video of his Paparazzi performance on YouTube.  One month later U.S. talk show host Ellen Degeneres came across the video and was blown away by it.  Ellen invited Greyson to perform on her show which he happily agreed to.

After Greyson’s first Ellen performance his “Paparazzi” YouTube video received over thiry-one million hits.  Two of Greyson’s original songs (“Stars” and “Broken Hearts”), also posted on YouTube, collectively received over seven million views after his Ellen appearance.

As a result of Greyson’s internet stardom,  Ellen invited Greyson back to her show for a second performance.  On May 25th, Ellen announced on her show that she started her own record label (called ElevenEleven) and signed her first artist, Greyson Chance.

Lady GaGa Calls Greyson Chance

If you didn’t know, Lady GaGa is one of Greyson Chance’s biggest inspirations.  So when Greyson went on the Ellen DeGeneres show for the first time he got the surprise of a lifetime.  Ellen arranged for pop star Lady GaGa to call in during the show and Greyson had the opportunity to speak with her live on the show.

Ms. GaGa spoke with Greyson about his success so far and wished him the best of luck as his career takes off.  She told Greyson that she thought he was “so talented” and urged him to “follow your dreams”.  Greyson was very thankful for the opportunity to speak with Lady GaGa and had a huge smile on his face!

Greyson Chance Signed Signed by Ellen DeGeneres

We brushed on this topic in an earlier post but we wanted to make sure all of our readers know that Ellen DeGeneres has officially signed Greyson Chance as her first artist on the ElevenEleven record label.  Ellen’s discovery of Greyson Chance inspired her to start her own record label and in turn sign Greyson as her first artist.  Ellen stated that she had been thinking about starting a record label for a long time and the discovery of Greyson inspired her to pursue that dream.

During a recent interview with Ellen she said “I’m looking forward to working with Greyson on his first album, I’m looking forward to discovering more new artists”.

So what about the Interscope Records rumor?  There have been several reports online indicating that Greyson had signed with Interscope records.  While it’s official that Greyson will be on Ellen’s EleveEleven label, we believe that the possibility still exists he will also be signed to Interscrope or perhaps another major label.  Maybe it will be Atlantic Records or what about Diddy’s Bad Boy label?  Diddy was at one of Greyson’s performances on The Ellen Show…. who knows!?

I’m sure we will be hearing a lot more about the record label arrangement in the weeks to come, so stay tuned!
