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. [4] Moore performs under the name Nori Royale [5] and was midway through a gap year at the time, while Mazzola was from Philadelphia [6] and Quezada is of Dominican descent. [5] Mazzola and Quezada had previously spent a month working on an audition together in their mid-teens. [7] The pair initially connected with two other contestants, Moore and Bri Gilyard, before dismissing Gilyard as they wanted to form a trio in the vein of Destiny's Child and TLC. [8]
The group individually rehearsed for a performance of "Levitating" by Dua Lipa; their performance of the song marked the first time the members met. [9] The band took their name from a portmanteau of 'three' and 'frequency', a reference to Mazzola's makeup incorporating an audio wave. [10] They then performed SZA's "Kill Bill", Muni Long's "Made for Me", Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy", and Brandy Norwood's "Have You Ever?" on the programme. [11]
3Quency 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. [9] 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 [12] and won the show's $500,000 prize. [13]
The band announced that they had signed record deals with Sony Music and Columbia Records in August 2025 and released their debut single the following month. [14] A contemporary R&B song, [15] "Top Down" was produced by TBHits and was about sex. [16] The band subsequently toured with Soulidified, another group formed on Building the Band. [17] In November, they released the singles "Once I Was A Good Girl" and "Clique"; the former was a song about heartbreak co-written by Raye and Steve Mac. [18] [19]
