Greyson Michael Chance, born in 1997, is a 14-year-old child singer from Edmond, Oklahoma, who catapulted to Internet popularity in May
of 2010 with his live interpretation of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” which currently holds close to 50 million views on Youtube. His performance
of him singing and playing piano, which was held at a local choir festival, won the attention of the producers of The Ellen DeGeneres show,
who invited him to perform on the show on May 13, 2010.
Signing to DeGeneres's new recording label “eleveneleven” part of Interscope Records, Greyson Chance has since debuted his first Album
Hold On 'Til the Night released August 2nd 2011 peaking number 2 on the iTunes Charts behind Adele’s 21. He has since toured parts of
America, France, UK and Asia.
Inspired from a range of artists such as Lady Gaga, Augustana, Christina Aguilera, John Lennon, John Legend , Elton John, Snow Patrol and
Coldplay he incorporates a unique pop-rock persona in his first album Hold On 'Til the Night.
Unlike many teen artists, Chance took on much of the writing: "Writing and recording this album has been such a fun and exciting journey!”
said Chance. “I've put so much hard work into it and I am so glad to have music out there for my fans. It's about overcoming fears but
always powering through, and I think it's a message my fans really relate to.” Entertainment Weekly says, “Chance reveals a surprisingly
mature voice.”
The album, which Rolling Stone magazine called a “potential blockbuster of a debut,” not only showcases Chance’s talents as a songwriter,
vocalist and piano player but also his wide range of influences. From the empowerment ballad “Waiting Outside the Lines” to the light-
hearted up tempo “Little London Girl,” Hold On ‘Til The Night takes the listener on a journey of teenage love and heartbreak complete with
undeniably catchy hooks and Chance’s signature powerful vocals.
Looking forward to more exciting projects for fans in 2012, Chance is currently in the studio working on writing and recording more music
and plans to make more television appearances in the future.
