On her talk show today, Ellen Degeneres announced that she is launching her own record label, eleveneleven, and that 12-year-old YouTube sensation Greyson Chance will be the first artist on the label.
Chance became famous after posting a middle school performance of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” to YouTube . He made his first appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”.
He got most hyped when Lady Gaga called him and wish him luck for his future.
Degeneres handed Chance a $10,000 check for winning her talent search contest and then announced the debut of her own label. “Greyson … inspired me to start a record label called eleveneleven,” Degeneres said. “He is my first artist and we are making a record together.”
Degeneres pledged to use her show to source further talent for the label, which has been set up in collaboration with Telepictures Productions. Although Chance may be on a brand new label, he will have two very experienced managers — Troy Carter, Lady Gaga’s manager, and Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary.
