Greyson arrives in China last month for showcase promotions |
Greyson Chance is traveling to Beijing China this weekend with his guitar player and producer Michael Warren to perform his new song “Sunshine & City Lights” for the MTV CCTV Mandarin Music Awards.
This will be the first time Greyson has performed “Sunshine & City Lights” on a nationally televised network show.
Warren took to twitter Friday night saying,
“Thunderstorms for me in #china this weekend #smh oh well... I'm still gonna enjoy it! Getting ready to play some songs with #Greyson this weekend! Long flight long flight..”The Music Awards will be held August 21, 2012 at the Wukesong Indoor Stadium in Beijing China.
A total of 22 awards are given away in much the same way U.S. based MTV awards show do.
Greyson is being billed as “A genius child prodigy…” in some of the press material we saw, and he will be performing during the telecast.

There is also a rumor that as part of his trip Greyson will be meeting with three fans for a “Date” as part of a contest award similar to what he did during his last visit to China.
We have not been able to independently confirm any details of a contest - or contest winners winning a "Date" but we're still digging...

Now, to be fair these are not really “Dates” but rather personal meet and greets where winners share tea and a few gifts with Greyson as part of a promotional contest.

While we hear that Greyson will be receiving an award during the MTV CCTV Music Awards broadcast we’re not sure exactly what the award is for - or if we’ll ever get to see any video of his performance or award acceptance speech.

Most of the video taken during Greyson’s last trip to China was either not available or quickly removed from most video services outside of China due to the closed nature of their governments controlled media.

We will try our hardest to find out more information and track down some photos and video of Greyson's current trip and awards event - but it will probably be tough to get.
Stay tuned!

Definitely will stay tuned. We're depending on you.
ReplyDeleteClearly a huge pubescent fangirl market exists in China, and one uncontaminated by Bieber. Lots of money to be made.
ReplyDeleteBut I feel sorry for Greyson having to spend almost a week flying just for one gig and some promo.
Does HE really need the money now? Surely he's got enough already.
I'd rather see him stay in Edmond and practice a few new covers. Cos THAT'S what he's best at, and what he seems to like doing most himself.
