What did you do to kill time while on tour and not performing?

We had a lot of fun. The last show we threw a lot of pranks on each other, silly string, and just had a lot of fun with everybody.

Favorite city on tour?

It had to be New York. I always love going to New York. I saw a lot of familiar faces from last time. It was an amazing show.

Do you find a lot of people automatically associating your new single “Unfriend You” with Facebook?

It’s that breakup song. That girl who was a really big jerk to you and did not treat you so well. What’s so great about the record is I’m actually about ready to shoot the video and though it’s a breakup song, it always ties back to social media. I think (social media) is a very important aspect, especially in today’s world.

Greyson, you were discovered on YouTube. Are you still impressed today with how powerful that site can be, especially for undiscovered musicians?

Yeah, I never expected any of this when I posted “Paparazzi” on YouTube. It’s been such an amazing journey this past year.

Will fans be surprised to hear anything with the debut album that they have not heard from you yet?

They’re going to be surprised about the whole record, because everybody thinks I’m going to go down that certain pop road, but it’s definitely not a big pop record. It’s a pop/rock record. The whole album is really about heartbreak. It’s pretty edgy.

Did you feel a lot of pressure because you have received so much attention prior to the debut album?

There is a pressure, but I think the pressure is a great thing. I love having something that can fill me up. I’m not too nervous.

Top 4 Musical Influences?

For this record I was really inspired by Journey. I love Journey, Lady Gaga, David Bowie and Coldplay.
