LAFAYETTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everloop.com, the safe, online headquarters for kids to connect with friends, create, share and discover, announced today that it is partnering with teen singer and songwriter Greyson Chance to provide kids the opportunity to showcase their talents, be recognized and win prizes. The promotions includes a Greyson Chance loop which lets kids get up close and personal with sneak peeks of Chance in the studio, express their creativity through musical activities, and participate in contests to win prizes, including merchandise and real-time conversations with the young musical prodigy.
“I’m excited to be working with a social media site created just for kids that is fun, creative and safe so I can interact with my fans even more,” said Chance. “Social media has played a huge part in my career and now on Everloop I’ll get the chance to connect with my fans on a new level and provide them a chance to showcase their creativity as well.”
During the promotion Chance fans will have the opportunity to participate in various contest activities, including a photo contest to be judged by Chance, an opportunity to create song lyrics and an activity that allows kids to develop an album cover and more contests to be announced through the event.
At 14 years old, Chance is an accomplished performer, songwriter and actor. The young teen was discovered when his performance of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at his 6th grade talent show went viral on YouTube and became the #3 most popular video of 2010. That video has received 45 million views to date. Now, with a full length album, Hold On ‘Til The Night, under his belt from eleveneleven/ Maverick/ Streamline/ Geffen records, he has gone on to complete two successful North American tours, performed at the White House, appeared on several national television shows such as “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “Good Morning America” and earned a recurring role on the primetime FOX Television show “Raising Hope.”
