Early career and YouTube covers

Becky G began pursuing entertainment after her family lost their home when she was nine and moved into a converted garage at her grandparents' house. She worked in commercials, voiceovers and modeling to help support her family. Bullying later led her to switch from public school to home schooling.

She began writing music at 11, experimenting with rap at 12, and taught herself to play guitar at 13. She posted cover versions of popular songs on YouTube, including Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Otis." The video caught the attention of producer Dr. Luke, and she signed with Kemosabe Records through RCA Records in 2011.

Before her solo breakthrough, she appeared in El Tux and La estación de la Calle Olvera, joined the girl groups G.L.A.M. and B.C.G., and worked with the production duo The Jam. Her first releases included the single "Becky from the Block" and the 2013 EP Play It Again. Jennifer Lopez made a cameo in the video for "Becky from the Block."

From "Shower" to Latin music

Becky G reached mainstream success with "Shower" in 2014. The single entered the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received a multi-platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. Her early collaborations included songs with will.i.am, Cody Simpson, Cher Lloyd and Pitbull, while she also toured with Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and Fifth Harmony.

She moved more decisively into Spanish-language music with "Sola" in 2016. Her Spanish-language hits included "Mayores" with Bad Bunny and "Sin Pijama" with Natti Natasha. She has said that making music in Spanish helped her reconnect with her heritage, even though she felt her Spanish was not perfect when she began.

Her debut studio album, Mala Santa, was released in 2019 and reached the top five of the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. Her second album, Esquemas, followed in 2022 and debuted at number one on the Latin Pop Albums chart. The album included "MAMIII," her collaboration with Karol G, which reached the top five of the Billboard Global 200 and became her highest-charting single on the Hot 100.

Becky G explored regional Mexican music on Esquinas in 2023 and Encuentros in 2024. Esquinas drew on mariachi and corridos tumbados and paid tribute to her Mexican-American heritage and grandparents. Its song "Por el Contrario," performed with Ángela Aguilar and Leonardo Aguilar, topped the Latin Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay charts.
