California-based singer Becky G first appeared in the early 2010s working alongside artists like Cody Simpson and Ke$ha before breaking out with her own solo hit "Shower" in 2014. Able to effortlessly transition from a verse filled with hardcore rap to a hooky pop chorus in either Spanish or English, her range was impressive given that she was still a teenager. While feeding the public a steady diet of singles, G also branched out into acting, appearing in the 2017 Power Rangers movie then landing a big Latin hit with her Bad Bunny collaboration "Mayores." The song later appeared on her 2019 debut album Mala Santa, which hit the Top Five on the Latin charts. Another string of singles carried her into the next decade including 2020's "No Drama" with Ozuna, 2021's "Ram Pam Pam" with Natti Natasha, and 2022's "Mamiii" with Karol G. She again hit the Top Five of the Latin Albums chart with her sophomore album, Esquemas.

Born and raised in Inglewood, California, Rebbeca Marie Gomez began her career at the age of 14, uploading cover versions of popular songs like Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Otis" and Frank Ocean's "Novacane" to video-sharing services. Using the stage name Becky G, she amassed an online following and caught the attention of producer Dr. Luke, who signed her to his Sony-owned Kemosabe imprint. At first she focused on features, joining Cody Simpson on his 2012 single "Wish U Were Here" and appearing on the remix of Ke$ha's single "Die Young." Her own debut single, "Becky from the Block," landed in 2013 alongside her EP Play It Again. A year later, G's single "Shower" became a breakout hit and cracked the U.S. Top 20, eventually going multi-platinum. She followed it up later in the year with the Pitbull-assisted "Can't Get Enough" and logged time on the road opening for both Demi Lovato and Katy Perry.

In 2017, Becky G's career got another boost when she appeared in the feature film Power Rangers playing Trini, the yellow Power Ranger. In July of that year, she scored a major Latin chart hit with "Mayores," a collaboration with Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. G returned to English in July 2018 with "Zooted," featuring French Montana and Farruko. She was also featured on Kane Brown's song "Lost in the Middle of Nowhere." In October 2019, G finally released her debut full-length album, Mala Santa. Along with the previously released "Mayores," the album spawned the spotlight tracks "Sin Pijama" with Natti Natasha, "Cuando Te Besé" with Paulo Londra, and "Dollar" featuring Myke Towers. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. Also that year, she paired with Anitta for "Banana" and joined Maluma for the song "La Respuesta." More stand-alone tracks arrived in 2020, including "Perdiendo la Cabeza" with Carlos Rivera and Pedro Capó, "Muchacha" with Gente de Zona, and "No Drama" with Ozuna.

G and Natti Natasha joined forces again in 2021 on "Ram Pam Pam," which was followed by "Fulanito" featuring El Alfa. The following year saw G team up with Karol G and release the single "Mamiii." All of this led up to release of the singer's sophomore full-length album, 2022's disco- and reggaeton-infused Esquemas, which cracked the Top 20 of the Hot 100 and hit number one on the Latin Pop Albums chart. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
