You know your life is going places when Simon Cowell takes the time to tweet about you and refer to you as a star in the making. Most of us would dream about this day, but for one 15-year-old from Inglewood, California, it became a reality. Becky Gomez (or just Becky G for short) is a force to be reckoned with. Seriously, she has worked with just about everybody. From opening up Justin Bieber‘s Believe tour to making a music video with Cher Lloyd, Becky’s rise to the top might be shorter than we all think.

Catch Becky G’s “Oath” performance alongside Cher Lloyd on a recent episode of The X Factor and find out more about the rapper’s career and who else she was able to work with below:

1. She knew she wanted to pursue something (anything!) in the music field when she was nine. “It was the one thing that was always there for me. Whether it was hip-hop, pop, country or Spanish music, it just always completed me,” she wrote on her official webpage, iambeckyg.com.
