About Becky G

Rebbeca Marie Gomez, known professionally as Becky G, is an American singer and actress. Gomez first gained recognition in 2011 for her cover versions of popular songs, 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. Throughout 2012, Gomez worked with singers will.i.am, Cody Simpson and Cher Lloyd. Her 2013 debut single, "Becky from the Block", preceded her debut extended play (EP), Play It Again (2013) – both releases failed to chart. Gomez achieved mainstream success with the release of "Shower" in 2014, which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her 2016 single, "Sola", was her first full Spanish-language song and debut into the Latin market.
