However, they are not related anyhow and merely share the last name (Gomez) and the same origin (both are of Mexican descent). She is an accomplished artist, having many songs with millions of views on streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube.

Early life

Becky G was born Rebecca Marie Gomez on March 2, 1997 in Inglewood California, to Mexican-American parents residing in California. The oldest of four siblings, Gomez has two brothers and a younger sister.

Gomez started her career with a few odd jobs she did around Inglewood to help her family stay afloat, when at the age of nine, her family fell upon hard times and were evicted from their house. From there on, they went to live in their grandparent’s house, more specifically, in their rent-free garage which they converted into a home. It was at this time that the young Gomez realised that she would have to step up, take a new direction for her life and start earning whatever she could to help with the family’s troubled financial life.

Growing up in Moreno Valley, she had a few part-time jobs to help her family; the work she got included some voice-over work for local film producers, local adverts and commercials. While this did bring in the much-needed money, Gomez later recalled that this became a point of contention for her classmates at the public school she attended; she was bullied for her appearances on TV, to the point where she had to drop out of school and had to be home-schooled.

Career (2008-present)

Acting, covering songs (2008-12)

Gomez got her first big break into the acting career from two movies which she was casted into the same year i.e. 2008. The first one was a short film titled El Tux, which saw the young Gomez play as Claudia Gomez, with the second project being a television film, La estacion de la Calle Olvera, which was a project by the channel Discovery.

After her stint in Hollywood, Gomez began to gravitate towards her musical ambitions, and in this regard, joined an all-girl group named G.L.A.M. With this group, Gomez recorded her first-ever song; a music video titled ‘JellyBean’, which saw its release in 2009. At the same time, while affiliated with the band, she began remixing and recording songs for her own; this effort of hers was bolstered by the help of remixing duo The JAM. With their help, Gomez began remixing and covering the popular songs of that time and uploaded them to platforms like YouTube and GarageBand. She covered the following hot songs in 2011, which made her a star in her own right,

  • Otis (Jay Z, Kanye West)
  • Novacane (Frank Ocean)
  • Boyfriend (Justin Bieber)
  • Lighters (Eminem, Royce da 5’9”)
  • Take Care (Drake)

With these covers, Gomez had also written and sung a song titled ‘Turn the Music Up’. These all were bunched up in a mixtape titled @itsbeckygomez. However, it was never released and never saw the light of the day.

However, this was not the end of it. Her cover of the song ‘Otis’ caught the attention of a producer Dr Luke, a high-profile artist and producer who had previously worked with pop royalty Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. He called Gomez up and scheduled a meeting/ demo with her, wherein she told him that she played the record, could write and sing songs. Following the meeting, she was signed to Luke’s record Kemosabe Records, a branch of RCA Records.
