Rebbeca Marie Gomez, was told she’d never make it as a musician. But the Inglewood native wasted no time proving her doubters wrong. By the time she was 17, Gomez had collaborated with the likes of Will.i.am, Cody Simpson, and Pitbull, and her 2014 multi-platinum single, “Shower,” rocketed her to the top of the, a Spanish-language record that explores the duality of her Mexican-American heritage and her South Central L.A. roots.

BECKY G: I love that you said three. I would say it’s genreless—it doesn’t have a singular sound, which I love. I grew up in Inglewood, Chicana, Mexican-American, representing two flags. I grew up listening to all kinds of music in English and Spanish, and I’ve woven the two together. There’s Anglo-style production with Spanish melodies and lyrics, and vice versa. I wanted to bring traditional Mexican influences to pop music.
MACIAS: That’s a message that a lot of mixed-heritage kids need to hear. As someone with a similar background, you don’t always understand that legacy. On a lighter note, what’s on your phone’s lock screen?[grandfather], on his ranch with his cows, and he’s smiling. He passed away last year, but he spent most of his working in the States. When I look at that picture, it brings me peace and I’m reminded. He often comes to me in numbers.
