Early Life and Career Beginnings

Becky G was born Rebbeca Marie Gomez on March 2, 1997, in Inglewood, California. Through her parents, Alejandra and Francisco, she is Mexican-American, and she has two brothers and a younger sister. When Gomez was around nine, the family lost their home due to financial difficulties. To help out, Becky started working part-time jobs, including commercials and voiceover work. She initially attended public school but transitioned to homeschooling due to bullying problems.

In 2008, Gomez appeared in the short film "El Tux" and the Discovery Channel television film "La estación de la Calle Olvera." The next year, she realized her dream of becoming a singer when she joined the girl group G.L.A.M., with which she filmed a music video. During this time, Becky started recording herself singing and rapping and posted her videos on YouTube. She also began writing her own songs and learned how to play guitar. Subsequently, Gomez befriended and worked with production duo The Jam; together, they did covers of songs including "Novacane," "Boyfriend," and "Otis."

Commercial Breakthrough

Gomez's cover of "Otis" drew the attention of producer Dr. Luke, who ended up signing the young artist to his label Kemosabe Records. While working on her debut album, Becky collaborated on various projects with a number of other artists, including will.i.am, Cher Lloyd, and Cody Simpson. In 2013, she released her official debut single, "Becky from the Block," a cover of Jennifer Lopez's 2003 single "Jenny from the Block." Later in 2013, Gomez released her debut EP, "Play it Again," which included five songs. This was followed by a second single called "Can't Get Enough," which featured guest vocals from Pitbull; it went on to top the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart in the US.

Gomez's biggest success yet came with the release of her single "Shower" in 2014. Making it to the top 20 of the "Billboard" Hot 100, it also achieved major play in countries including Australia and Sweden and received an RIAA multi-platinum certification. Following this, Becky became the spokeswoman for CoverGirl, filming commercials and featuring the brand in her music videos. She also released the singles "Can't Stop Dancin'," "Lovin' So Hard," and "Break a Sweat," and did a co-headlining tour with Colombian singer J Balvin.

Transition to Latin Music

In 2016, Gomez released her single "Sola," her first to be sung entirely in Spanish. She followed this with another Spanish song called "Mangú." Becky continued to explore the world of Latin music, drawing on her Mexican heritage and her love of the late Tejano singer Selena. She released the single "Todo Cambio" in early 2017, and subsequently collaborated with Argentine singer Axel on the single "Que Nos Animemos." A little later, she released "Mayores," the first single from her debut album. Featuring rapper Bad Bunny, the song topped the charts in Spain, Chile, El Salvador, and Ecuador, and hit #3 on the "Billboard" Hot Latin Songs chart.
