Hometown: Palos Verdes Estates (beach area. small town)

Year: 2015

Voice Part: Soprano 1

Major: Linguistics

Hometown: Ventura, California

Fun Fact: Kate is a fan of Beyonce, Tiramisu, Eggplant, Harmonies, and Musical Theater.  She once donned a fat suit and a 60′s black-and-white-skunk-striped-bouffant-wig to perform her dream role of Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray.  If she could switch lives with anyone of her choosing, she would be Harry Potter.

Year: 2015

Voice Part: Designated spider-killer and Alto 1

Major: Cognitive Science

Hometown: Loomis, California

Fun Fact: Besides being a singer and dancer, Grace has a lust for adventure. She loves learning about other cultures through travel and trying new foods, and when travel isn’t an option, she loves exploring wherever she is: rooftops, abandoned houses, and stargazing are her specialties. She loves being a part of this wonderful group, and she hopes Cadenza can bring you the same joy it brings its members!

Daiting Song

Posted on by

Year: 2016

Voice Part: Strangenglish Maker and Alto 2

Major: Undecided

Hometown: Beijing, China

Fun Fact: Daiting has been a band vocalist since age 12. In summer 2012 she went on a performance tour in Germany, an experience she treasures most. Most of her original songs are written on the road in foreign countries. Her life passion is about startup social enterprise, as what she did in her gap year, building classrooms for poor kids in central China.

Year: 2015

Voice Part: Alto 2

Major: Political Science

Hometown: Walpole, Massachusetts

Fun Fact: When she’s not singing in Cadenza, Grace is probably listening to, dancing to, or just pretending to be Beyoncé.  As a self proclaimed number one fan of the singer/actress/mother/star, Grace says WHEN she meets Beyoncé she will break out into unattractive, roaring cries.
