The video was subsequently restored and today Rebecca has 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and just under 1 million followers on Instagram.

Early Life

Rebecca Renee Black was born in Irvine, California, on June 21, 1997. Her mother, Georgina Marquez Kelly, is of Mexican descent. Her father, John Jeffery Black, is of English, Italian, and Polish descent. Both of them work as veterinarians. Black grew up in California, and attended private school until 6thgrade, when she moved to public school. The reason behind her move has been attributed to bullying. Ultimately, Black finished her education through homeschooling, in part due to bullying from classmates but also due to her busy schedule.

Friday

Black's path to musical stardom is unorthodox, to say the least. Her big break came when her mother paid $4,000 for a music video starring her daughter to be produced by vanity recording house ARK Music Factory. Black and her family first learned about the music company through one of her classmates, who was also an ARK client. The $4,000 that Black's mother paid the company covered not just the music video that would end up going viral (as well as the original song "Friday"), it also gave the Black's full ownership of both the video and the master.

The song, "Friday," went on to become one of the most hated songs ever after it was seen by millions of people on YouTube. After it was uploaded on February 10, 2011, to YouTube, during its first month on the streaming platform it only received around 1,000 views. However, on March 11, it began to go viral, and within just a few days had accumulated millions of views. It was not just YouTube that Black went viral on, her and her music video became one of the most discussed topic of the social networking site Twitter. Most of the media coverage and online discussion of her and the video were negative and mocking. Her infamy might have been worth it though. After being released as a digital single on March 14, 2011, it racked up sales of around 40,000 during its first week. Then, on March 22, 2011, Black was invited to perform the song on television as a guest on "The Tonight Show withJay Leno", and on the show she discussed the negative reaction to the song.

Ultimately, Rebecca Black's financial journey is a testament to their success.
