Rebecca BlackRebecca Black was born on June 21, 1997,[5][6] in Anaheim Hills, a neighborhood in Anaheim, California.[6] She is the daughter of John Black and Georgina Marquez Kelly, both veterinarians.[7][8] An honor student,[6] Black studied dance, auditioned for school shows, attended music summer camps, and began singing publicly in 2008 after joining the patriotic group Celebration USA.[6]
In late 2010, a classmate of Black and music-video client of Ark Music Factory, a Los Angeles label, told her about the company.[9] Black's mother paid $4,000 for Ark Music to produce her daughter's music video while the Blacks retained ownership of the master.[8] Black's single, "Friday", was released on YouTube and iTunes. The song's video was uploaded to YouTube on February 10, 2011, and received approximately 1,000 views in the first month.[6] The video went viral on March 11, 2011, acquiring millions of views on YouTube in a matter of days, becoming the most-talked-about topic on social networking site Twitter,[10] and garnering mostly negative media coverage.[11] As of March 22, 2011, first-week sales of her digital single were estimated to be around 40,000 by Billboard.[12] Black appeared on the March 22, 2011 episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, during which she performed the single and discussed the negative reaction to it.[13] The song has peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 and the New Zealand Singles Chart at number 58 and 33, respectively.[14][15] In the UK, the song debuted at number sixty-one on the UK Singles Chart.[16]
By March 25, Black had hired a publicist and a manager. Her manager confirmed that he has been contacted by songwriters and record labels with ideas for more songs and an album.[17] In an interview with The Sun, Black said that she is recording a new song called "LOL", which is considered for release as a single, and material for her debut album at Flying Pig Productions studio in Los Angeles.[18] She is currently working without a record deal. She also said that the album would contain songs with themes similar to that of "Friday", as she wants it to be "appropriate and clean."[18] Black teamed up with Funny or Die on April 1 for a series of videos, including one which addresses the controversy about the driving kids in her music video, stating "We so excited about safety."[19]
