“It was during my 8th grade year and I was in the computer lab. My friend Harold… he was like ‘Aye did you hear that song?’ I didn’t know [Lil Uzi Vert] was a good rapper. I was like ‘Man this dude bogus,’ but I gave him a listen. And the first song he showed me was “Top.” I started to listen to him more in high school. And [that is when] he dropped “Luv is Rage 2.” That’s when I put my headphones in and didn't talk to anyone.” - Mussab Musa ‘20.

''The idea of Cadenza just started as a place to play and get involved in classical music. I play a ton of classical piano, so that was the fuel for my decision to try and make this club. Later in development, we realized that this club had the potential to make a bigger impact on music around here, so one of the main functions of the club became to fund the Music Auxiliary through our performances.'' - Jonathan Chen '22
