Rebecca Black may not be the most popular artist in the music industry, and she is certainly not the most loved celebrity either, but she does have a certain charm that can turn all songs into internet trends.
From the release of her first song to now, she has been hated more than appreciated by her listeners; but Rebecca understands the glamour biz and its dark side.
Though she was bothered by all the criticisms in the past, it has now become a part of her life as she emerges out of all the negativity and hatred that comes to her path.
Who Is Rebecca Black? Her Age, Birthday & Short Bio
Rebecca is an American pop singer- who has been active in the music industry since 2011.
The artist (full name: Rebecca Renee Black) was born in Irvine, California, on 21 June 1997 (age: 22). She was raised as the daughter of Georgina Marquez Kelly and John Jeffery- both of her parents work as veterinarians.
Further, Rebecca boasts a mixed ethnicity consisting of Polish, English, Italian, and Mexican heritage.
Release Of Song Friday And Aftermath
On 10 February 2011, Rebecca- then a 13-year-old girl- released a song that was instantly hated by the listeners but brought her to the spotlight for years.
The song, titled Friday, was produced by the now non-existent ARK Music Factory after Rebecca's mother paid $4,000 to the company. Friday became instantly viral, and it has over 139 million views on YouTube to this day.
Though Friday is Rebecca's greatest hit to date, the song hasn't brought any glory to its singer. Instead, she was hated, bullied, and shamed after the release of the song. Friday is one of the few songs with over a million views to have more dislikes than likes. The YouTube video of the track has garnered over 3.6 million thumbs down against 1.1 million thumbs up.
Released Saturday After Two Years
After over two years of the release of her infamous song Friday, Rebecca came back with another one of her genius composition- this time it was Saturday.
Unlike its predecessor, Friday, Saturday- which was uploaded on 7 December 2013- didn't bring many criticisms to the artist, though it wasn't praised much either.
