Bechtel was born Gabriella Leigh Bechtel on July 28, 1997, in Orange County, Calif., to a Mexican mother and a Swiss-German father.
Growing up, Bechtel said she dealt with a lot of bullying due to her ethnicity.
“The majority of students at my high school were beautiful, strictly white blond girls, and my sister and I were Hispanic. I was called some pretty awful things. But then I just learned to laugh at it,” she told British Vogue in May 2023.
The “Better Run” singer had early dreams of becoming a ballerina and would spend most of her time in the dance theater.
“I was convinced I was going to be a professional ballerina and I still am,” she told the magazine.
After graduating high school, she then moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of dancing ballet but instead ended up in dancing videos on MTV.
Bechtel became the lead vocalist and songwriter of the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, which was created by Charli XCX.
The band also includes guitarist Chloe Chaidez, drummer Debbie Knox-Hewson and bassist Georgia Somary.
The women were originally strangers when they all moved into a house in LA to make music together for the first time for Netflix’s docuseries/reality show “I’m with the Band: Nasty Cherry,” which premiered on the streaming platform in November 2019.
