Rebbeca Marie Gomez[1][2] (born March 2, 1997),[2] also known as Becky G, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Gomez first gained recognition in 2011 when she began posting videos of herself covering popular songs online. One of her videos caught the attention of producer Dr. Luke, who subsequently offered her a joint record deal with Kemosabe Records and RCA Records. While working on her debut effort, Gomez collaborated with artists will.i.am, Cody Simpson and Cher Lloyd. Her official debut single, "Becky from the Block" (2013), received a positive reception upon its release. She released her debut extended play, Play It Again (2013), later that same year. Her second single, "Can't Get Enough" (2014), featured guest vocals from Pitbull and went on to top the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart in the United States.

Gomez achieved mainstream success with the release of "Shower" (2014), which went on to enter the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single would go on to receive a multi platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting two million units sold in the country. Following the success of "Shower", Gomez released "Can't Stop Dancin'" (2014), "Lovin' So Hard" and "Break a Sweat" (2015) as singles from her forthcoming album. She embarked on a co-headlining tour with J Balvin throughout September and October 2015, spanning throughout the United States. She portrayed Valentina Galindo in two episodes of the musical television series Empire, contributing two new songs to the soundtrack of the series called "Do It" and "New New". Gomez was featured on the song "Superstar" (2016) with Pitbull. She released her first Spanish song "Sola".

In July 2017, she released her single "Mayores", with rapper Bad Bunny, which topped the charts in Spain, Ecuador, Chile and El Salvador, while reaching number three on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. Her success led her to collaborate with artists such as Daddy Yankee, French Montana and David Guetta, in addition to being the opening act for girl group Fifth Harmony, for the Latin American leg of their PSA Tour, with shows in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, that same year. In April 2018, she released another hit single "Sin Pijama" with Dominican singer Natti Natasha, which also entered the top five of the Hot Latin Songs, peaked at number one in Spain and the top 10 in several countries. In July 2018, Gomez released "Zooted", featuring French Montana and Farruko, as her first English-language song in three years. On September 27, 2019, she featured on the "Chicken Noodle Soup" remix by South Korean rapper and dancer J-Hope of BTS.

Life and career

1997–2011: Early life and career beginnings

Rebbeca Marie Gomez[1][2] was born on March 2, 1997,[2] in Inglewood, California.[3] She is the daughter of Alejandra "Alex"[1] and Francisco "Frank" Gomez. All four of her grandparents are from Jalisco, Mexico, while her parents and most of her family were born in the US.[9] Gomez has two brothers, and a younger sister.[10] In December 2017, she revealed she has a half-sister who was eighteen years old.[11] Gomez grew up in Moreno Valley, and at the age of nine her family lost their home and moved into the converted garage of her grandparents' house due to financial problems.[1] Gomez began working part-time jobs to help support her family, doing commercials and voice over work.[1] She had what she described as a "mid-life crisis" when she was nine years old, and decided she wanted to pursue a music career.[1] She was quoted as stating "That was literally my mid-life crisis when I was nine years old. That's when I felt like, 'OK, I gotta get my life together. What am I gonna do?' I pushed that on myself at a younger age than the average kid because at the time my family had lost our home. I've always been more mature for my age, so I was already understanding what they were going through. And I just thought, 'How can I help them?'"[12] She initially attended public school, though had to undergo home schooling due to issues with bullying.[12] She claimed that at one point she was jumped by multiple girls while in the restroom, and was a frequent target due to her jobs in the entertainment industry.[13]

Gomez appeared in the short film El Tux (2008) as Claudia Gómez and as Nina in the Discovery Channel television film La estación de la Calle Olvera (2008).[14][15] She became a member of a girl group named G.L.A.M. in 2009,[16][17] and later joined B.C.G., another girl group.[18] She filmed a music video as part of G.L.A.M. for a song titled "JellyBean" in 2009. During this time, Gomez also began recording herself singing and rapping songs using Garageband, and created a YouTube account to post covers of popular songs online.[12] She also began writing her own songs, and by the age of thirteen had taught herself how to play guitar.[1] Gomez befriended production duo The Jam when she was thirteen, who liked Gomez's written work.[13] The trio began working on material together, resulting in the covers of the songs "Otis" (2011), "Lighters" (2011), "Novacane" (2011) "Take Care" (2011), "Boyfriend" (2011), and an original song "Turn the Music Up".[13] These songs were meant to be part of a mixtape, titled @itsbeckygomez, though this project never came to fruition.[1] Her cover of "Otis" caught the attention of producer Dr. Luke, who had worked with artists including Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, among others.[1] Luke scheduled a meeting with Gomez, and asked her to play guitar for him; he later signed her to his Kemosabe Records record label, through RCA Records.[13] In reference to her video clip for "Otis", Luke claimed "I would have signed her off that video alone. I was 100 percent in. She has so much personality and her voice just pops out of the speakers. Then I met her and discovered she could also sing and play the guitar and I thought, 'This is even better.' Then I found out she could write and it was like, 'What else are you going to tell me, that you’re also Van Gogh?' Her potential is limitless."[13] Shortly after signing with the label, Gomez began work on her debut album.[1]

2012–2015: Commercial success with music and acting

In August, while working on her debut album, Gomez released her first song, "Problem", featuring will.i.am, which was subsequently remixed into "Problem (The Monster Remix)" in September, for the Sony Pictures Animation film Hotel Transylvania; the song served as a promotional single and also appeared in the movie in the end credits.[19] Gomez and will.i.am filmed a music video for the song; it features both artists in a hotel while scenes from the movie also appear.[1] She is featured on Cody Simpson's song "Wish U Were Here" (2012), serviced as the second single from his debut studio album on August 7.[20] She worked with Cher Lloyd on the song "Oath", released on October 2 as the fourth single from her debut album.[21] The single had some commercial success, becoming Gomez's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.[22] The track was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting sales of 500,000 copies in the country.[23] She also worked with Michel Teló on a remix of his song "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" on his UK EP on October 14. Gomez is featured on a remix of Kesha's top ten single "Die Young" (2012) alongside Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa; the remix was featured on the Japanese deluxe edition of Kesha's second studio album, Warrior (2012).[24]

On April 8, 2013, Gomez released "Becky from the Block" as her official debut single.[25] The song is a cover of Jennifer Lopez's 2003 single "Jenny from the Block".[26][27] Gomez filmed a music video in her neighborhood, with Lopez herself making a cameo in the clip.[28] Entertainment Tonight described the version to have "give[n] Jenny's NY-based tune a West Coast slant".[29] Later, on May 6, Gomez released a new song, "Play It Again", for digital download.[30] The track served as a promotional single, and was not an official single released by Gomez. On July 13, Gomez released her debut extended play, also titled Play It Again.[31] The album contained five songs on the standard edition, and its name was chosen by Gomez's fans. Gomez later filmed a music video for the song "Built For This", released on November 13, which she directed on her own. In October 2013 she confirmed that she was already recording her debut album. "Cant Get Enough", which features a guest rap from Pitbull, was serviced as the lead single from Play It Again, released on June 4. The song went on to top the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart in the United States, marking her first number one single on a Billboard chart.[12] Spanglish and Spanish versions for "Play It Again" and "Can't Get Enough" were released to digital platforms. Gomez performed the former on the 2013 Premios Juventud ceremony, where she was also nominated for "Revelación Juvenil" (Revelation Young).[32] She recorded the song "Quiero Bailar (All Through the Night)" (2013) with 3Ball MTY, which sees Gomez rap-singing in both English and Spanish.[33] The song was intended to be used for their second studio album.
