BiographyRebbeca Marie Gomez (born March 2, 1997), known professionally as Becky G, is an American singer and actress. Born and raised in Inglewood, California, she first gained recognition in 2011 for her cover versions of popular songs, many of which she uploaded to YouTube. One of her videos caught the attention of record producer Dr. Luke, who signed her to a recording contract with his label Kemosabe Records, an imprint of RCA Records. Shortly afterward, Gomez worked with singers will.i.am, Cody Simpson and Cher Lloyd.
Her 2013 debut commercial single, "Becky from the Block", was released to positive reception despite failing to chart. Its 2014 follow-up, "Can't Get Enough" (featuring Pitbull) moderately entered the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and served as lead single for her debut extended play (EP), Play It Again (2013). In April of that year, Gomez achieved mainstream success with the release of her single "Shower", which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). She embarked on a co-headlining tour with J Balvin during September and October 2015, which spanned throughout the United States. She portrayed Valentina Galindo in two episodes of the musical television series Empire, while contributing two songs to the show's soundtrack. Her 2016 single and first Spanish-language song, "Sola", led her to continue releasing songs in the language until her 2018 promotional single, "Zooted" (featuring French Montana and Farruko). Afterward, she released several singles in both languages.
Gomez's studio albums, each recorded in Spanish, have all peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. Her debut studio album, Mala Santa (2019), entered the Billboard 200, received septuple platinum certification by RIAA Latin, and spawned the singles "Mayores" and "Sin Pijama". Her second album, Esquemas (2022), debuted atop the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart, while its third single, "Mamiii" (with Karol G), peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains her highest-charting song. Her third album, Esquinas (2023), debuted at number three on the Regional Mexican Albums chart and spawned the single "Por el Contrario", which became her first number-one song on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Her fourth album, Encuentros (2024), debuted at numbers fifteen and nine on the US Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts, respectively.
Gomez has received numerous accolades, including two American Music Awards, an iHeartRadio Music Award, nine Latin American Music Awards, including the honorable Extraordinary Evolution Award, and the Impact Award at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music ceremony. She has also been nominated for a Billboard Music Award and five Latin Grammy Awards. Gomez launched a cosmetics company, Treslúce Beauty, in 2021.
