Becky G biography and Early life
Becky G, real name Rebecca Marie Gomez was born on March 2nd, 1997 in Inglewood, California in the United States of America.
Gomez was born to Mexican-American parents, Francisco Gomez and Alejandra Gomez. She shares the same parents with her three siblings; two brothers, Alex Gomez and Frankie Gomez and her younger sister, Stephanie Gomez.
Gomez was up in Moreno Valley, where at the age of nine her family had to move out of their home owing to financial difficulties and into the converted garage of her grandparents’ home. Gomez started performing voiceover and commercial work as a part-time profession to support her family.
When she was nine years old, she experienced what she called a “mid-life crisis” and made the decision to pursue a career in music. She initially went to a public school, but because of bullying concerns, she had to receive her education at home.
She stated that because of her work in the entertainment sector, she was frequently targeted and that at one instance several girls jumped her while she was in the lavatory.
Gomez played Claudia Gómez in the 2008 short film El Tux and Nina in the La estación de la Calle Olvera television movie on Discovery (2008). In 2009, she joined the girl group G.L.A.M, and she later joined the other girl group B.C.G. In 2009, she participated in the filming of the G.L.A.M. music video for the song “JellyBean.”
Gomez also started using Garageband to record herself rapping and singing songs at this time, and she made a YouTube account to upload her original versions of well-known songs online.
Becky G started writing her own songs as well, and by the time she was thirteen, she had mastered the guitar. When Gomez was thirteen, she made friends with the production team The Jam because they enjoyed Gomez’s writing.

The group started writing songs together, which led to covers of “Otis,” “Lighters,” “Novacane,” “Take Care,” and “Boyfriend” (2011) as well as the original song “Turn the Music Up.”
These tracks were supposed to be included on the @itsbeckygomez mixtape, but it never materialized. Producer Dr. Luke, who has worked with artists like Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears among others, was drawn to her cover of “Otis.”
Gomez was set for a meeting with Luke, who later signed her to his Kemosabe Records record label via RCA Records after having her play guitar for him.
