Chance began playing the piano at the
age of 8 and has had three years of piano lessons.
He, however, had no formal
vocal training. He is of German, English, Polish and Czech ancestry.
Of his inspiration, Chance said,
"I love artists who are able to communicate their emotions through music
and sing from the heart.
That’s what I’m hoping to do with my songs." He
was emboldened by Lady Gaga after seeing her performance of
"Paparazzi" at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
He stated, "I
was awestruck by her performance.
I love her sense of drama and theatricality.
Plus, she’s an amazing singer and piano player." Chance was also inspired
by the artists Christina Aguilera, Augustana, John Legend, Elton John.
Appearances
Chance's "Paparazzi" cover
video was posted to YouTube, on April 28, 2010, and for almost two weeks the
video generated low views.
At least two social websites, GossipBoy.ca and
reddit.com, posted video embeds on May 10, 2010.
Ellen DeGeneres first saw the
video after Chance's brother, Tanner Chance, wrote to her show suggesting she
watch it.
The video had about 10,000 views when DeGeneres first saw it.
While explaining her reasons for naming her new record label eleveneleven, she
listed as one reason the fact that she first saw Chance's "Paparazzi"
cover on May 11, 2010.
Also, she states that 11 is Greyson's soccer jersey
number.
On the afternoon of May 11, Yahoo! Music reported: "As of this
writing, the video has got more than 36,000 views so far, and he's even been
invited to perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
On May 12, 2010 Greyson Chance taped
an interview and performance of "Paparazzi" for Ellen in Los
Angeles.
It was broadcast on May 13.During the interview, Chance
received a phone call from Lady Gaga, who the boy says is his "true
inspiration."
This first appearance on Ellen was followed by a second
appearance on the show, airing May 26, 2010, on which Chance performed his
original song "Broken Hearts", received a $10,000 award for winning
Ellen's Wonderful Web of Wonderment contest, a brand new Yamaha piano, and was
announced as DeGeneres's first signed artist to her new recording label
eleveneleven.
Chance now has many fans on online social sites such as
Facebook and Twitter.
