Chance's parents Scott and Lisa Chance that their kid's sudden rise to fame has been overwhelming at times. "It’s slowing down now. Lisa and I were insistent that we pull the rope back as far as more public appearances because he’s got a couple of weeks of school left,” Scott Chance said.
The songster’s 16-year-old sister, Alexa Chance said that her phone is constantly ringing. "I’ve only had one person ask for his number and I said, ‘no, not right now,’” she said.
On his part, Scott Chance added that he would meet people in the music industry before signing any contracts. "We want to regroup and take the weekend to study how we want to proceed. Next week we’ll make some inquiries and start interviewing some people, not to necessarily sign some deals, but get advice on what we need to do next,” added the proud father.
