Greyson Chance dropped by WeHo pride Saturday where he played his new upcoming single “Palladium.”
Chance syas:
“The song is inspired by an ancient Greek myth I had researched when I was in college studying archaeology. When I was writing the lyric, I thought of how the myth relayed back to my own life. ‘Palladium’ is about protecting the most sacred parts of yourself, which in this case, is my creativity as an artist. Throughout my entire career, I have been told what my music should sound like. And with this song and this album, I cut out all of that noise.”

Chance was the headliner at the Outloud Raising Voices Music Festival, part of Los Angeles Pride at the West Hollywood Park.
Ahead of the weekend, Chance said:
“Nothing brings me more joy to be premiering new music at WeHo Pride and at the Outloud Fest. I am excited to reintroduce myself and to bring a dynamic show to the festival. This show marks a completely new era for me, and I am just grateful to still be here doing what I love.”
Palladium follows Chance’s critically acclaimed 2019 album portraits, which has to date accumulated over 100+ million streams, and topped #5 on iTunes’ Pop Charts, #1 on Apple’s Music Breaking Pop Playlist, and #3 on Apple Music’s Best of the Week Playlist upon its release. The album marked a long-awaited return for Chance and was followed by a Word Tour that included 70+ sold out dates in North America, Europe, SE Asia, and China.

Once there was a boy who had the guts to “portray” Lady Gaga on a now famous video. He belted out “Paparazzi” in a local talent show, unaware that it would change his life forever.
That boy was Greyson Chance. Greyson Chance, as his huge fan base is aware, is now all grown up and on his way to becoming an LGBTQ icon in his own right. Of that video twelve years ago, he says, “After spending my entire adolescence trying to distance myself from that video, I’m now at a place where I am so proud of that polo-wearing bowl-cut kid, who was brave enough to take a risk. I love you, thank you for one hell of a ride.”
That kid is still taking risks. He is taking on new exciting projects that stretch his art, but more, expand his heart by enriching his fans, the worldwide LGBTQ community and in one case, Ukrainian families.
After a concert tour of Latin America late last year, he embarks on a European tour this summer. In between he has two significant performances.
He will be featured here in West Hollywood at the third annual OUTLOUD: Raising Voices Music Festival Saturday, June 4th, taking the stage at around 6:40pm as West Hollywood celebrates its inaugural Pride.
“This year, we are fortunate to bring the OUTLOUD experience to the City of West Hollywood to coincide with their inaugural WEHO Pride weekend celebration. OUTLOUD showcases established and emerging LGBTQ+ musicians and what better place to bring the community together to celebrate in one central location,” JJLA Founder & CEO Jeff Consoletti told the LA Blade.
