THIS MONTH YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW

Following the Justin Bieber phenomenon, showbiz has embraced a number of young teenagers whose fame started from their personal YouTube videos. Greyson Chance, a 14-year-old boy from Texas, was among those discovered stars and recently staged his debut performance for his fans in Bangkok.

In 2010, Chance showed off his piano and vocal skills to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi during a performance for his fellow sixth-grade students at his high school. After his brother wrote to television star Ellen DeGeneres and suggested she watch Chance's video, Degeneres invited him onto her programme The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she signed Chance as the first artist on her new record label "eleveneleven".

His debut album, Hold On 'Til the Night, was released last August and his Paparazzi video has been viewed over 47 million times.

Their self-titled debut album was released in 2004, and the latest, Fluorescence, hit the shelves last year.
