Greyson Chance: “Purple Sky” – it is a song that I wrote for the bullying campaign and what’s been going on lately. Which song are you most-excited to share with the world? Like Meat Loaf, the singer …” I remember we had a camera crew there, I think, and so that’s probably out on the Internet right now, but that was a really funny moment.Ĭlayton Perry: According to the press release, you have written several songs for your debut. Ron speaks in a lot of metaphors, and one time, very early on, he said, “Have you heard of Meat Loaf?” And I said, “Well, yeah, I’ve had it a couple of times.” And he goes, “No, no, no. He’s one of the coolest guys I’ve met, and we’ve been making great music together. Greyson Chance: Well, he’s been just so helpful, and he’s become such a great friend and such a great mentor. Talk to me about some of the interactions you have had thus far. Knowing his résumé and all the people he has worked with, I would imagine that could be overwhelming. And then you have the rehearsal days.Ĭlayton Perry: Over the past few months, you have spent a great deal of time working with Ron Fair. Greyson Chance: Well, I’ve had some long studio hours. It’s very hard work, and sometimes it can be very stressful, but it’s definitely what I wanted and I’m just so blessed with this opportunity that I have, so I’m not complaining.Ĭlayton Perry: What’s the craziest day schedule-wise that you have had so far? It’s so much fun but at the same time, it’s a full-time, seven day a week job. I thought they just go into their studio and just record and then they’re done, which is definitely not the case. Greyson Chance: Well, I was under the spell before I did this that people that do music have an easy life and it’s just a little different. But, I’m doing what I love and it’s easy to do what you love.Ĭlayton Perry: Now that you’re actually “the star” you used to sit and watch from home, what part of the business have you found to be more difficult than they show on TV? Greyson Chance: Oh, I’m always on my computer, Skyping, emailing, texting. I’m performing, I’m in the studio, so everything’s going good.Ĭlayton Perry: Have you come up with any creative ways to get back those sacrifices? ![]() ![]() So, yes, I have to make some sacrifices to not see my friends as often or not be in a regular school environment. I mean, this is what I’ve always wanted to do with my life, and this is my dream. ![]() Greyson Chance: I don’t think I’m being forced to grow up really fast. In support his debut single, “ Waiting Outside the Lines,” which was released on October 26, 2010, Greyson Chance managed to squeeze some time out of his busy schedule and settle down for an interview with Clayton Perry – reflecting on the sacrifices that were necessary for success, the influence of John Lennon, and his favorite composition: “Purple Sky.”Ĭlayton Perry: Coming into the industry at such a young age, in what ways have you been forced to grow up fast? And for the past few months, Greyson has been hard at work on his debut album – working closely with Ron Fair, who mentored and guided the careers of Christina Aguilera, Keyshia Cole and the Black Eyed Peas. After a rousing performance of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” on the award-winning talk show, Chance’s star has been on the rise. Greyson Chance is the first artist to be signed to Ellen Degeneres’ new music label, “eleveneleven,” which was inspired by her love and admiration for the young Texas native, who she discovered on May 11, 2010.
