Rebbeca Marie Gomez[1][2] (born March 2, 1997),[2] known professionally as Becky G, is an American singer and actress. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including two American Music Awards, an iHeartRadio Music Award, nine Latin American Music Awards, 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 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. While working on her debut effort, Gomez collaborated with artists 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 US Latin charts and served as the lead single for her debut extended play, Play It Again (2014). 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. She released her first full-Spanish song, "Sola" in 2016. Her 2018 single, "Zooted" (featuring French Montana and Farruko), was her first English-language song in three years. In 2019, 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. Her debut studio album, Mala Santa (2019), peaked at number eighty-five in the Billboard 200, received septuple platinum certification by the RIAA Latin, and spawned the two Billboard Hot Latin Songs top-ten entries: "Mayores" and "Sin Pijama".[9] Her second studio album Esquemas (2022), debuted at number ninety-two in the U.S. and number-one on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums; its third single, "Mamiii" (with Karol G), peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains her highest-charting song.[10] Her third studio album Esquinas (2023), debuted at number 109 in the U.S. and debuted at number three in the Regional Mexican Albums.[11] Gomez launched her cosmetics company, Treslúce Beauty in 2021.
