Chance, who was listed as No. 9 on Billboard's 21 Under 21 last month, recently headed to L.A. to record his original song "Stars," under Ellen DeGeneres' label eleveneleven Records. DeGeneres, who discovered Chance shortly after his YouTube success, invited him to perform on her show, and later awarded him with his own record deal -- a gesture that immediately launched Chance to well-deserving fame.
