Rebbeca Marie Gomez, born on March 2, 1997, in Inglewood, California, is the oldest of four children. Her parents are Mexican Americans while all her grandparents are from Jalisco, Mexico. Due to financial struggles, her family lost their home and moved into her grandparents’ converted garage.
At nine years old, Gomez experienced a mid-life crisis and decided to pursue a music career. She began working part-time jobs doing commercials and voice-overs to help support her family. Gomez also faced bullying in public school and turned to homeschool. She later joined girl groups and began posting covers on YouTube. Producer Dr Luke discovered her and signed her to his record label, Kemosabe Records, through RCA Records. She then started work on her debut album.
During the production of her debut album in 2012, Gomez collaborated with will.i.am to release “Problem,” which was later remixed for the film “Hotel Transylvania” and played during the end credits. A music video was created in a hotel, featuring clips from the movie. Gomez also collaborated with Cher Lloyd and Michel Teló on the songs “Oath” and “Ai Se Eu Te Pego (Remix),” respectively.
In 2013, she released “Becky from the Block” and “Play It Again,” which was part of her first EP. The single “Can’t Get Enough,” featuring Pitbull, became a chart-topper. The following year, “Shower” made it to the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, she became the CoverGirl spokeswoman, released “Can’t Stop Dancin'” from her debut album, and opened for Demi Lovato and Katy Perry on their tours. Finally, Gomez appeared in Empire and responded to Donald Trump’s remarks with the song “We Are Mexico.”

In 2010, Sebastian Lletget signed his first professional contract with West Ham United, however the mononucleosis he later caught put a stop to his professional career.
Despite this, he agreed to an extension of his contract with the group in 2013, and he made his official debut in the FA Cup game against Nottingham Forest in January 2014. Lletget joined LA Galaxy in May 2015 and made his debut against Orlando City SC. By scoring two braces in the US Open Cup, he had an influence on the 2016 campaign.
Lletget’s first goal since his comeback was scored in the first El Tráfico in 2017 when he had recovered from an injury. He was purchased by the New England Revolution on December 14, 2021.
