For Becky G, success has never been just about topping the charts, collecting awards, or building an impressive career. It's also about what she can do with her platform and, more importantly, the impact she leaves behind.
The Mexican-American singer brought that message to Marc Anthony's Maestro Cares Foundation Gala, where she was honored with the Voice of Change Award, a recognition that celebrates her commitment to making a difference beyond music.

Becky G on receiving the Voice of Change Award at Marc Anthony's Maestro Gala
For Becky G, receiving the Voice of Change Award was more than another milestone in her career. It was an opportunity to recognize the lessons she learned growing up and the responsibility she feels to carry those values into the world.

"Obviously, for me, it's a great honor," she told HOLA!, before adding one of her favorite reminders: "Nothing changes if nothing changes."
The phrase reflects an idea that real change requires action, and even small gestures can have an impact.
Becky explained that her understanding of compassion began at home, where she learned the importance of loving and caring for others. As her career and influence have grown, so has her desire to extend those lessons beyond her immediate circle.

For the singer, being a positive example doesn't necessarily require grand gestures. Sometimes, it starts with something as simple as choosing kindness. "It costs us nothing to be a good person," she said in Spanish, reinforcing the idea that everyone has the ability to make a difference.
"It's important. It's super important," she added.
Becky G explains why her legacy isn't about money or success
One of the most meaningful moments of Becky G's conversation with HOLA! came when the discussion turned to legacy. At a time when celebrity accomplishments are often measured by awards, streaming numbers, and financial success, the singer offered a different perspective. "Yeah, legacy is really important to me," she shared.

Instead, it has everything to do with how people treat and care for one another. It's a perspective that reveals another side of the artist, whose career has evolved from teenage pop sensation to an internationally recognized performer with a strong connection to her Mexican-American identity.
While her professional achievements remain an important part of her story, Becky made it clear that she hopes to be remembered for something more personal.
Her comments also reflected the larger purpose of the Maestro Cares Foundation Gala, an event associated with Marc Anthony's philanthropic efforts to support underserved children and communities across Latin America and the United States.
