ARK Music Factory

In 2010 he founded ARK Music Factory in partnership with Clarence Jey, an Australian record producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist musician. He chose the name "Ark" because of his Christian background. Jey left ARK Music Factory in May 2011 with Wilson remaining CEO of the company. Wilson and Jey co-wrote and produced the song "Friday" sung by Rebecca Black. He is also responsible for writing and producing songs for a number of young artists.

Following most of the negative Rebecca Black "Friday" attention received, the song Wilson wrote and the video in which he also appeared, much speculation emerged that he might have exploited aspiring young singers. Wilson rejected the claim, saying the label provided a "relatively cheap" way to get into the pop market for artists:

"I get a lot of criticism saying I'm exploiting rich kids and their parents," Wilson said, "but find me another company that will do all this at this high cost.I do not promise anyone famous.In fact, if someone approached me with their sole purpose of 'becoming famous,' I told them that they were not here for the right reasons. "

Wilson went public in a taped promotional interview explaining what lies behind the company he founded. He also put two musical responses about "Friday" and the controversy he made. The first one was posted on March 13, 2011 entitled "Friday (Rap Remix)" written and produced by Wilson and Clarence Jey, the second on April 4, 2011 titled "Say What You Want Say" by Wilson and Kustom. Both songs discuss some of the most common complaints against the song and in how ARK runs its business. Both of these posts have received negative appeal as well.
