Early life

Ramirez was born on March 9, 1995, in Houston, Texas.[2] Her father, Sonny Ramirez, was a music producer and her mother, Cris Ramirez, was a kindergarten teacher. Ramirez was raised in Sugar Land, Texas, and attended Westside High School for two years before moving to Los Angeles, California.

Music led to Ramirez making her television debut—when she was 10 years old, she performed a song the "Apollo Kids Star of Tomorrow" segment of Showtime at the Apollo.[4] Ramirez is signed to Empire and Tribeca Music Group.[5] She has performed as the opening act for a number of musical acts, including Earth, Wind & Fire, Chicago and Ruben Studdard.[4]

On June 20, 2016, Ramirez released her first EP Discreet.[5] Her singles subsequently followed her first EP: "Faded" Feat. Baeza in 2017.[6]

In 2018, Ramirez released the first single “Bad Boys” off of her debut album, Over Your Head, which was released February 28, 2020. Singles that followed “Bad Boys” were; “Liquid Courage (Love Me Better)", "Broke Us" Feat. Trevor Jackson in 2019 and “Over Your Head” in 2020.

Music videos for the singles "Faded", "Bad Boys", "Liquid Courage" and "Broke Us" were released. "Liquid Courage (Love Me Better)", "Broke Us", and “BBU” were directed by Maria Skobeleva.[7][8]

Acting

In 2007, Ramirez played a recurring role on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody as Jasmine, a young camper with anger management issues.

Starting in 2013, Ramirez played Mariana Foster in the ABC Family (renamed "Freeform" channel) series The Fosters. Her character is a straight-A student who, with her fraternal twin Jesus, has been adopted by a lesbian couple into a multi-ethnic blended family. The show premiered on June 3, 2013, and in January 2017, Freeform announced that it had been renewed for its fifth season.[12] However, according to Entertainment Weekly, the series would be cancelled after a three-night limited series on June 6, 2018, to be followed with a spin off, Good Trouble premiering January 9, 2019, featuring Ramirez and Maia Mitchell.[13]
