Becky G Reveals How Starring in 'Power Rangers' Helped Her Overcome Her Greatest Fear in Her Music
Becky G is having the time of her life on stage during 2018 Calibash Los Angeles at Staples Center on Saturday night (January 20).
The 20-year-old “Mayores” singer recently opened up about how her first feature film, Power Rangers, helped her take a huge risk with her own music.
“I learned so much from filming the movie that it re-inspired me on an artistic level, and it’s really what made me go into Spanish music,” she wrote for Billboard. “I figured, ‘What the hell? I’m trying something completely new in the acting world, my first feature film.’ So it gave me the balls to try something new in my music.”
Becky adds that singing in Spanish was one of her biggest fears.
“It might be because I watched the movie Selena too many times — when her dad says, ‘You’re either too Mexican for the Americans or too American for the Mexicans. You can’t be in the middle.’ That part stuck with me, because I’ve lived my whole life in the middle.”
She continued, “When I recorded my first song in Spanish, ‘Sola,’ it felt so right, and I realized that I found myself in my Spanish music. People were like, ‘Finally! This sound makes sense to who you are!’ It felt like everything fell into place.”
