A sixth-grade youngster with remarkable talent and a voice to match shared a video of himself singing Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi’ back in 2010.
The video did not become popular right away, but it started to circulate online and into the entertainment industry.
The video eventually gained traction and became popular, garnering millions and millions of views. That young kid who had a fresh face is now a successful actor in his own right.
Greyson Chance was raised in Oklahoma after being born in Wichita Falls, Texas, on August 16, 1997. At a very young age, he started playing the piano and took classes to get better.
Additionally, Chance learned that he had a stunningly distinctive singing voice and made the decision to showcase
his love of music by participating in school talent competitions and posting videos of himself performing online.
It didn’t take long for Chance’s 2010 cover of ‘Paparazzi’ to become well-known and go viral, and his original songs also quickly
gained an astonishing amount of popularity. Chance was soon invited to play on Ellen DeGeneres’ show and be a guest after his videos caught her interest.
Even DeGeneres signed Chance to eleveneleven, her record label launched in 2010 in collaboration with Warner Bros. and distributed by Interscope Geffen A&M.
Following that, Chance started a career in the music business but ultimately decided to take a hiatus before returning on his own terms. But he thought back on the video that started it all in 2022.
Chance’s first song, ‘Waiting Outside the Lines,’ was published in October 2010; his debut studio album, ‘Hold On ’til the Night,’ was released the following summer.
Extended plays and full-length albums were released by Chance as he continued to produce music.
He’s even started a new career path because he’ll make his screen debut in the 2023 film ‘Maybelline Prince.’
Even so, it’s difficult to forget how it all began when Chance sang ‘Paparazzi’ by Lady Gaga while
playing the piano for a school music festival. Over 71 million people have watched the video since it became viral.
Chance discussed his profession, which he started when he was 12 years old, with DeGeneres on her talk program in 2019.
He took the decision to leave Los Angeles when he was 18 in order to attend college, but he ultimately
found his way back to La La Land and the music industry. ‘Let’s go back and do it, but let’s do it on my terms this time,’ Chance recalled.
Before coming out to the public at the age of 19, he first told his family about it when he was 16. Chance first became aware that it
was time to share his experience when a fan contacted him to express how much his music had inspired them despite their shared problems with coming out.
Chance gave more thought to his professional life in an Instagram post in April 2022. He claimed he ‘tried to distance’ himself from ‘being labeled as ‘the paparazzi kid,’’ since he has entirely changed since then.
Chance closed by thanking his supporters for standing by him though everything:
‘I’m so grateful to still be here. I’ve now come to the realization that I’m content with the fact that this viral moment will endure in perpetuity on the internet.
