On Ellen, Greyson revealed he had received piano lessons for the past 3 years, but had not undergone any formal vocal training. He cited Lady Gaga as his primary inspiration, stating, "I love how she's so different, and she takes her individuality and she takes her amazing talent that she has and she makes just great songs that are catchy and make you want to dance."
Greyson was on the show on May 26, 2010 again. He performed his own song "Broken Hearts". He got 10,000 dollar from the producers of the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Also Ellen told that Greyson is the first artist on her brand new label called eleveneleven and that they will make a record together.
As of 2014, Greyson is currently in the process of writing and recording his sophomore studio album.
On March 15, 2019 Chance released his sophomore album "portraits". He, himself, calls it his debut album because he had complete creative control on this album and he feels like it's what reflects him now, as an artist.

Good As Gold
Greyson Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To fill with a drink
I see the light at the end of the dark
It might make you think
About where you′ve been, babe
And what you've done
Yeah, I know you hate this town
You′re not the only one
I know you're hurting
And you're feeling sold
I know it hurts when
You don′t know where to go
And when you′re tied up
By the past you hold
You've got to know
That you are good as gold
I see the crack in your ribs when you fell
Over your heels
I see you hurt by the words when he said
Love it ain′t real
But let me hold you
And tell you what I see
You are the light of the day
You mean so much to me
I know you're hurting
And you′re feeling sold
I know it hurts when
You don't know where to go
And when you′re tied up
By the past you hold
You've got to know
That you are good as gold
Oh, good as gold
Oh, good as gold
Oh, good as gold
You've got to know
That you are good as gold
Shoulder to shoulder
Yeah babe, I′m on for the ride
We can run far away
Stay in the heat of July
Oh, tonight
Push your troubles aside
We′ll be alright, babe
(Good as gold)
Yeah
You are good as gold
Hey
I know you're hurting
And you′re feeling sold
I know it hurts when
You don't know where to go
And when you′re tied up
By the past you hold
You've got to know
That you are good as gold
Oh, yeah you are good as gold
(Yeah, you are)
Oh, good as gold
(You′ve got to got to know babe)
Oh, good as gold
You've got to know
That you are good as gold

This is amazing Greyson! Very powerful 🙌🏻
@desirose5287
I’m looking through the comments and the majority of what I’m seeing is people praising Greyson for his talent and how he shouldn’t stop making music, and that’s okay. I understand that. But the message of this video runs deeper to me than just his vocals. I was born in Pine Ridge, South Dakota and finally got out when I was 6. I have experienced the pain and anguish that this town carries first hand. The alcoholism and the violence, the poverty and the neglect. But I have had the privilege to be surrounded by my own Lakota culture this town carries on. This will always be my home and seeing it finally get some recognition makes me so happy.
@katelyntotten2663
I live in south dakota and honestly I just found this song and it's so true, the reservations here have a lot of hurt and violence and alcoholic people and its sad.

I’m very proud to be a Lakota women. We might be poor but we are rich in culture.

You have a chance to step up and find a way to make the old ways of your ancestors new again. Your tribe is most likely lost in the white man's world and needs to relearn ancient traditions. Best!

I love how Greyson connects his personal experience with the Lakota tribe. This is extremely beautiful when Greyson's music and the special scene of Lakota fits together. More than perfect. Always support the best music.
