Ivan Jemaima (Guitar) a fellow traveler from Baranquillas, Colombia was drawn by the melodies that whispered in his ears and followed the voices that wandered the trees eventualy taking him to meet the brothers. After instantly blending with them he decided to get on board. Flashbang Utopia was born. With a studio session already scheduled at Studio Center Miami and only 1 week of rehearsing they went on to record their first single "Wonder, ponder, find your thunder!". After a successful recording with great feedback from the studio they decided to go out and strengthen their numbers.
