Talk:Becky G

Becky G

Rebbeca Marie Gomez, known by Becky G (Inglewood, March 2, 1997), is an singer, actress, model, rapper and dancer. 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.

Life Story

Becky's parents, Alejandra Gomez and FrankGomez , were high school sweethearts who met at Santa Monica High School. They had Becky, her brothers Frankie and Alex, and Becky's younger sister Stephanie. After the family lost their home due to a ballooning mortgage payment and went to live in a small converted garage, a nine-year-old Becky decided to start a career in entertainment to bolster her family's finances. She looked for child talent agencies, found an agent and began getting work in commercials, voiceovers and modeling. Becky has attributed being part of a large extended family with giving her the attention-getting skills that helped her achieve entertainment success, and she shared some details about her struggle with anxiety, crediting her family's support with helping her cope with this issue.

In December 2017, Becky made a statement on social media about her half-sister, who had just turned 18. She had known about this sister since she was 13, but the two had had limited contact. After sharing her hopes that their relationship could further develop, Becky wrote,I want you to know that I wish you all the best in life and that you find happiness wherever your heart takes you.

Music Career

Becky was writing her own music at 11 and learned to play the guitar at 13. Her cover of Kanye West and Jay Z’s "Otis," one of several cover videos she posted on YouTube, caught the eye of producer Dr. Luke. In 2011 she signed with his Kemosabe/RCA Records. Her EP, Play It Again, came out in 2013. Among the artists Becky has collaborated with are will.i.am and Pitbull (their "Can’t Get Enough" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Latin Rhythmic Airplay chart); she has writing credits on Cody Simpson's "Wish You Were Here" and Cher Lloyd's "Oath." In addition, she's toured with singers such as Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and Fifth Harmony.

Spanish Music

Becky initially found success singing in English but began to feel disconnected from tunes that had been written by and for others. By making Spanish-language music, she regained inspiration while staying true to herself. Her Spanish singles include "Sola," "Todo Cambio," "Sin Pijama" (with Natti Natasha) and "Mayores."

The video for "Mayores" — a catchy song that features Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny — has more than one billion views on YouTube. Becky has said that videos for her Spanish-language songs should help the music reach English-speaking audiences, as they'll be able to grasp meaning via these "mini movies.". Becky has admitted her Spanish wasn't perfect when she started creating Spanish-language music. However, she was still proud and happy to get in touch with her heritag.

Television and Movies

In 2015 Becky guest starred as Valentina on Fox's Empire. She made her big-screen debut as Trini, the Yellow Ranger, in 2017's film version of the 1990s TV show Power Rangers. Trini has been called the first LGBT protagonist to appear in a big-budget superhero movie, though the character's sexuality was only addressed in a brief bit of dialogue. Becky also voiced a character in Gnome Alone (2017) and starred in the family adventure film A.X.L. (2018).
