*Man, he is too talented to even be worried about finding the right management and tactics to the music industry, he deserves it all!*

Man move is when he said he didn’t care about the risk and made that album for passion and himself🥃

[tanthyqalia]

OMG. He's not only the inspiring musician and song writer. But also... A really great inspiring person and can motivate a lot of people. I think I'm not wrong to be his big fan.

And dear Jake Savagely,
Now you are one of my favorite creator on making motivation content, keep doing this. You are awesome.

Greyson is so well spoken as well as talented. Luv hearing him talk. Thanks for a great interview--grow savagely.

WOW!!! Such wisdom from from such a young man

[vishnushankar]

Greyson's music is really unique. He has his own genre. And his voice is perfect for his music. Portraits is a beautiful album and although "shut up" is an awesome song, I picked "yours" and "white roses" as my favourites from the album. I'm pretty sure he can become an A list singer if he makes music consistently!

@greysonchance Really proud of all that you've done and what you will continue to become. Nothing but best wishes to you and your team/family/friends. Thanks Jake and your team for putting this together for a new perspective on Greyson's life!

I understand about Greyson's feeling that sometime you really don't want to do your favourite job and just want a rest. That's why we always need the motivation of our job. 😌

I'm a kindergarten teacher and I like children, but sometime I want to escape my job too. The children are my motivation. 😇

I like Greyson that how he overcome his rejection. Even though he had a good career from 2010 to 2012, but he did well too from 2012 to 2015.👏

I believe that even though he lost the team, but he still can restart his career because he has a good character. Talents will take you to high position, but good character helps you to maintain high position. 💪

Definition of mature, personally, two of most powerful features are taking responsibility and staying true to yourself. He defined it both in his own way, being respect to his tours and audience that paid for, defining success as passion and dream, rather than unbounded dollar desire 💵 . Damn, this dude does stay sharp and read lots of book! He’s the type of person that I would group with during zombie apocalypse. 😆Great host, too! Questions are stick to the points.

I met Greyson at first London show and even asked him to record something with me someday, lol (and he told me to hit him up online). Surely he could be a really great lawyer, but I feel that (like me, even as a much less experienced musician) without music he'd feel kinda... homesick - if that makes sense. Great interview, I like how topics of conversation are organised. It's easier to follow up with everything. Say hi to Greyson from me if you have a chance, maybe he remembers me :) I subbed and am looking forward to another videos of yours. cheers!

He had to see from 12-18yrs old what so many of do not learn (ever) OR what we (unfortunately) have to learn at 50ys...

[PreciousJoy]

I am watching this again and I hope you get to do this interview when he release his new EP called Trophies this June 25. 💙

[PeterGregg]

Wow, so good and at the same time such a missed opportunity! Dang, the brother in law had him in his grip and there was so much potential there that was just let go bye. I'm a content creator in another genre, so I hopefully will never disrespect a fellow content creator. I'm sad that so little information got revealed and the bulk of it wasn't even touched. Like was said in the inter, everything is a learning experience. Thumbs up anyway, making a decent YT video is no easy thing. 👍👍

Itsjakesavage should've tied Greyson's hands to the furniture.

This was an extremely dangerous interview.

Thank God no one was injured!

[thomasmartinez]

Man this sucks. The industry failed and robbed this talented young man now.
