History
[edit]In 2024, Brianna Mazzola, Nori Moore and Wennely Quezada all individually auditioned for a place in a band on the Netflix competition series Building the Band.[1] At the time, Moore was mid-way through a gap year,[2] while Mazzola was from Philadelphia and Quezada was working as an after-school daycare teacher.[3] Mazzola and Quezada realized during the filming of the series that they had met before, having spent a month working on an audition together in their mid-teens. The series featured 50 contestants competing to become members of bands[3] and involved contestants "liking" who they would like to connect with.[1] Eventually, the three agreed to form a trio, in the vein of Destiny's Child and TLC; their decision to omit from the lineup Bri Gilyard, another member of the 50, sparked ire online.[4]
The group individually rehearsed for a performance of "Levitating" by Dua Lipa; their performance of the song marked the first time the members were meeting.[5] After coming up with the name 3Quency, they progressed through the competition, with their performances including SZA's "Kill Bill", Muni Long's "Made for Me", Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy", and Brandy Norwood's "Have You Ever?".[6] They reprised their "Made for Me" performance for Netflix Summer Break, a promotional vehicle for participants of other Netflix shows broadcast seven episodes in. Long and three other bands from Building the Band also performed.[5] Then, after performing Chloe Bailey's "Have Mercy" and Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" in the final, they were voted as the winning group of Building the Band by the judging panel.[7]
