Greyson Chance Best Buy On Interview

Greyson Chance sat down with Best Buy On recently to talk about his road to stardom.

“We had this really old piano in our house and nobody really played it in the family so one day I was like there’s a piano… why don’t I start playing”.  This was Greyson’s thought process years ago when his road to stardom began unknowingly.

Despite what you might think, Greyson didn’t just know how to play the piano, it took years of practice to master.  In fact he started with the basics, by writing each music note on individual piano keys.

After performing at the Edmond Music Festival Greyson posted a video of his Paparazzi performance which is father filmed… the rest was history! Greyson says that knowing people are looking forward to his music and the fact that they are inspired by it is what it’s all about!

Greyson Chance Area Codes (405): Video Tour of Edmond Oklahoma

Greyson Chance takes us on a tour of his piano collection, favorite charity organization, church and favorite record store in his hometown of Edmond, Oklahoma in the latest edition of VEVO Area Codes: (405).

The first stop was Greyson’s home in Edmond!  We catch a glimpse of Greyson’s first piano which his parents purchased for $200 from a neighbor down the street.  It was a clunker compared to his new one, also in is home which was given to him by Ellen DeGeneres.  Greyson tells us that learning the piano at first was very challenging but he stuck with it because he really wanted to learn it.

Next we visited the Henderson Hills Church, the venue for the Edmond Music Festival!  This was the place where Greyson participated in a talent competition and sang Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi.  This is the place where it all started for Greyson!

The third stop on the Edmond tour landed us at Greyson’s favorite charity organization, The Children’s Miracle Network.

Upon arrival Greyson told a doctor that he was donating $5,000 to them but after meeting with the kids at the hospital he doubled it to $10,000!

For the final stop Greyson swung by his favorite record store in Oklahoma City, Guestroom Records.  Greyson has a rather large collection of vinyl records and takes about fifty of them on tour with him along with his record player! (Old Skool!)

Here is the video of Greyson Chance giving us the tour!
