Video - New Greyson Chance Video Gives Tour of His Hometown and House

So, what’s it like to go from a small town musician to the bright lights of Hollywood?

Just ask 14-year-old Greyson Chance.

Greyson, who was discovered by Ellen DeGeneres after posting a YouTube video singing Lady Gaga, took to Vevo “Area Codes” last week to give his fans a personal video tour of his hometown Edmond Oklahoma.

His tour started inside his house where he shows us his two pianos – his childhood piano and the one that Ellen bought him.

Chance also talks about his discovery by Ellen, and shows us the very Church in Henderson Hills where he played the now famous “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga that started it all and propelled him into the limelight.

Greyson says he is an avid collector of old school vinyl records and takes about 50 of them on the road with him while on tour.

Greyson also visits the Children’s Miracle Network hospital where he makes a donation of $10,000 and talks to several patients and doctors.

He gives us a view of the Ford Center where he was asked to perform the National Anthem and says he always listens to “Escape” by Journey before he goes on stage.

Chance has a new album coming out in August called “Hold on till the Night” and has recently released a new music video for his single “Unfriend You”.

This comes on the success of his first single “Waiting Outside the Lines”.

Greyson is currently on tour with Miranda Cosgrove and Cody Simpson and frequently calls in to the Ellen show to give his fans an update on what he is doing.

It has also been announced that he will be taking a recurring role on the television series "Raising Hope" next season - his first journey into the world of TV.
