Ark Music Factory is a small vanity record label based in Los Angeles, California. Ark's business centers on the recruitment/discovery of new young singers. Ark then writes music with (or for) these singers and records them, often producing music videos of these songs. According to the company's Myspace page, they categorize themselves as an indie record label. They state that their main objectives are to bring aspiring acts to the musical fore: "We at ARK make it possible for an emerging artist to be discovered, defined and delivered, to advance in their chosen career and be successful." Ark is predominantly based in the US, although they claim that artists they have supported have had success in different regions across the globe.

Ark's website claims to be creating a community where artists from all fields can come together to build connections and interact. Their website also claims that their dedicated team has industry professionals who have worked with Miley Cyrus, the Backstreet Boys, and Ashley Tisdale.

Ark has recently gained notoriety through a viral video when one of their songs, Rebecca Black's "Friday", unexpectedly became an internet meme - some heralding it as potentially "the worst song ever". According to the British newspaper The Independent, Black trended high on Twitter, coming in at the 5th most rehashtagged topic on March 14 at 7:30pm GMT. However, many of these tweets consisted of negative feedback relating to the lyrics of the song.
