Greyson in the Philippines April 2012 - Press Conference
Last month while Greyson Chance was on the road during his 2012 Asian Tour one of his stops was to Manila in the Philippines for a headline concert and press conference.
During the press conference Greyson says that “The Man upstairs” is the one who gave him the talent and inspiration to be a singer, and then talked about how he deals with nerves and stage freight before a show.
He also talks about working with music producers who treated him like an adult instead of a “kid” singer, finishing his new album, and where he gets his inspiration for his songs.
But the best part is at the end when he says he wants to steal a car and drive it to New York and then returning it to his owner!

While in Manila, Greyson sat down with Orange Magazine TV and talked about his time in the Philippines – and about meeting Barbie!
He also talked about what it’s like to be famous and his process for writing music as well as how he deals with reading bad reviews and hateful comments on the internet.
Greyson Chance performs in Manila Philippines April 22, 2012
Greyson Chance wrapped up his 2012 Asian tour in The Philippines on April 22 at the Manila Smart Araneta Coliseum – and he did not disappoint!
Greyson had played previous shows in Jakarta, Singapore, and KL Malaysia, and was pumped up for his last major show.
Greyson’s show in Manila followed the same format as his other shows, and he once again showed off his new dance moves during “Pumped Up Kicks”, and his noticeably lower voice throughout most of his performance.
Below are some videos of Greyson's last performance in Manila on April 22, 2012.
Greyson Chance in Jakarta Indonesia April 20th 2012
Greyson Chance held his third concert of his 2012 Asian tour Friday night April 20th, 2012 at Jakarta’s Ji-Tech Hall as part of his 2012 Asian Concert Tour - and he did not disappoint his fans!
Greyson arrived in Jakarta Indonesia after previously playing shows in KL Malaysia and Singapore - but the energy was clearly waiting for him in Jakarta.
Greyson started his concert with the song “Unfriend You” while every single fan in the audience sang along in perfect unison.
While in Jakarta, Greyson was informed that his debut album “Hold On ‘Til The Night” had achieved “Platinum” sales status in Indonesia and was awarded a special plaque by Universal Music!
Greyson spent a little extra time in Jakarta doing press and promotional events before traveling to Manila Philippines for a concert on April 22, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The following videos are not the best quality but we will be searching and updating this page with ALL the videos we can find from Greyson's April 20th concert in Jakarta. We will be updating and adding video links throughout the weekend.
Teen singer Camryn will tour with Greyson through Asia
Greyson Chance has just announced that teen pop phenomenon “Camryn” will act as his tour mate starting in April when he returns to Asia to launch his full scale concert tour.
Greyson will return to Asia to perform headliner concerts at several venues including:
At an age when most girls are shopping, inviting kids over for sleepovers, going dancing with their friends, playing sports and experiencing their first crushes on boys, singer Camryn is…well… already singing about it!
Camryn’s Asian tour promotional video
This isn’t the first time Camryn and Greyson Chance have teamed up for a concert tour. Last year, Camryn was on every stop of Greyson’s “Waiting 4 You” concert tour which also featured Cody Simpson.
Greyson and Camryn
This will be Camryn’s first trip to Asia but we’re sure Greyson will turn her on to the wonders of fried bananas and warn her about the nasty smelling durian fruit.
And Greyson, please warn Camryn about that John Martin guy… Selamat Mama? Remember?
Twelve-year-old Camryn is currently on tour in the United States hitting up middle schools across the country and has already performed for over 50,000 school kids so far this year.
Camryn thinks she has found the way to a successful career by being real and communicating “real world stuff” that kids are going through these days and says,
“I’m really excited to perform in Asia, because so many of my Facebook fans live in the same countries I’ll be visiting. It will also be great to tour with Greyson Chance again. He is unbelievably talented, kind, and fun to be around. He told me I *must* try durian and that I would love it…. But I think he’s a prankster!”
Camryn already has over 1 million followers on Facebook, and has her own official website with videos of her new single and information about her upcoming debut album.
For his part, Greyson is currently in the studio in Los Angeles writing new music, rehearsing for his tour, and working on his stage show that will be unleashed in Asia.
We think Greyson and Camryn make a good touring duo and can’t wait to start posting the stories from the road, videos of the shows, and funny backstage pictures from his 2012 Asian tour!
Hurry Greyson - para penggemar tidak bisa menunggu!
While Greyson Chance was visiting the Philippines last November during his Asian promotional tour he took some time to sit down with “Total Girl” magazine for a personal interview.
Greyson said he was surprised when he found out he had such a huge fan base in Asia and was surprised at how many fans he had in the Philippines.

Greyson talked about how his life has changed since being discovered, and what bands and current musicians inspire him.
He says he is inspired by all types of music and has been listening to a lot of “What’s on the radio”, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars.
Greyson’s Asian promo tour took him to Manila, Singapore, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and KK.
It is rumored that he will be returning to Asia in early February to kick off the release of his “Special Asian Edition” of his debut album “Hold on ‘til the Night”.
Greyson Chance and his team are now done with his tour in Manila and will soon be heading to Jakarta Indonesia and the Hard Rock Café for his last series of shows and press.
There is no doubt that Greyson’s fans in the Philippines truly love the singer and enjoyed his stay and are sorry to see him leave so soon.
We have dug up some of the best pictures and thought we would post a few for his fans to remember their special visit!

Greyson Performing in Manila

Well, sometimes being a rock star is not everything that you might expect.
Sure, you have your crazy fans that sneak into your hotel trying to get your autograph or a photo, or frantic fans chasing your limo down the street to get one last look at you, but you don’t expect to get bitten by an overly enthusiastic fan!
But yesterday, singer Greyson Chance had to come to terms with his dark side while touring in Manila when a super fan of the “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” movie decided she was going to give young Greyson a vampire bite on the neck.
“First time I have ever been bitten by a fan…haha ouch!”
To be fair - last week was the movie premier of the next “Twilight” saga movie and fans in the Philippines were excited not only about the new movie, but because Greyson Chance was doing a concert there as well.
But DON’T WORRY - Greyson is fine, and witnesses say it was more of a funny gesture made by the fan rather than a full-blown neck tickler.
Greyson always meets with his fans after his shows and takes pictures with them and signs autographs.
He is also known for striking funny poses and being goofy with his fans during the picture taking and sometimes lets the girls give him a kiss on the cheek.
In this case the kiss turned out to be a playful bite on the neck – vampire style.
But within hours, Greyson was spotted back stage in his dressing room sporting thick facial hair - and he had ripped off all his cloths and was running around howling like an animal all while… wait a minute…. never mind… uh, I was thinking of something else entirely.
Anyway… This is why people adore this kid. He is funny and very personable with his fans and we hope that trait continues as his career matures.
After all, we don’t want him to start getting tattoos, buying Land Rovers, and singing hip hop Christmas songs now do we?
One highlight of Greyson’s performance in Manila was the playing of his first Christmas song live on stage during a concert. He belted out a jolly version of “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” and got everybody in the Holiday spirit.
Next stop is Jakarta Indonesia for a show at the Hard Rock Café before heading back to the United States to continue work on his upcoming projects and 2012 tour.

Greyson at the Manila Philippines Eastwood Mall Open Park
Greyson Chance performed for his fans in Manila today at the Eastwood Mall Open Park.
Greyson just arrived to Manila after his tour through Malaysia and Singapore and looked tired before hitting the stage at his first sold out show in the Philippines.
He opened the show with his hit single “Unfriend You” and this was NOT his normal acoustic set. Instead, he had a full blown backing track that blasted out the music to make it sound like a full blown rock concert!
Greyson had the crowd on their feet singing all the words to his hit songs, and then drove the crowd into a frenzy when he said the words “Mahal ko kayo” several times during his later performance.
He also sang his first Christmas Song - "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree".
Things then quieted down as he returned to the piano for an acoustic version of “Waiting Outside The Lines.”
Thanks to Orange Magazine for uploading their videos to YouTube and we should all go subscribe to her channel to show our support.
Greyson's first Christmas song was "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree"
