Rebecca Black, Shaytards and Cimorelli. Do you know any of these names? Housemate Kayleigh does–in fact, she was boots on the ground for one unforgettable era of Youtube. When the platform was the wild west and children recorded songs about Chinese food (yeah, not good) and rife with acapella, Housemate Kayleigh watched avidly from the sidelines. Learn about the now extinct Ark Music Factory and many of the most popular Youtubers of the 2010s–particularly those who dipped their toes into the music industry when they probably should have stayed dry.
