Greyson Chance Joins Lady Gaga on Interscope

By Zach Dionne Posted May 18th 2010 11:33AM

Rumors stirred yesterday that the 12-year-old who looks like Justin Bieber and sounds like Lady Gaga, Greyson Chance, had been signed to a major label. Today, the New York Post confirms: Greyson's joining Gaga on Interscope Records.

"He signed [with Interscope] but the managers said we really couldn't talk about it," his sister, Alexa Chance, told the Post on the front porch of their "middle-class tract home" in Oklahoma.

The news comes on the seventh day of Greyson's whirlwind week -- a YouTube sensation that has racked up more than 17 million hits, an appearance on 'Ellen,' a phone call from Gaga herself.

"Greyson, you're so sweet and so talented, and I was so excited that you covered 'Paparazzi,'" Gaga told the sixth-grade prodigy during the 'Ellen' taping. "Everyone loves you so much. Just keep following your dreams and work really hard, and stay away from girls and be focused."

It seems those dreams have launched with unprecedented speed for young Greyson-san. Kelly Cheek, Greyson's music teacher at Cheyenne Middle School in Edmond, Oklahoma, told PopEater, "I have never seen anyone with his level or type of talent. We really hope he comes back to school for the rest of the year, but after this video, who knows what his future holds!"

carygiles- i agree. they act like justin bieber invented long hair. im so sick of hearing about justin bieber i could puke.

He is soo talented and has such a great range on his voice. Hes one of those singers that whether you hear them live or recorded they sound awesome. I know there will be people who will get mad when hes puled out of school but thats how he will make millions. For some of you you think its work for him its fun and he will meet so many great people. I hope he goes far. Id buy his record!

I wish they'd stop equating him with Bieber. This kid actually has talent! Best of luck to him....and give him a new haircut that we can call "The Greyson"!
