Totul a inceput atunci cand chitaristul Andrei Balasa si a dorit formarea unei trupe rock. El avea sa devina elev la Scoala de muzica George Enescu la chitara clasica unde i-a intalnit pe fratii Nicolau ( Iulian, Florian si Mario) care sunt toti trei elevi ai aceluiasi liceu si au inceput sa cante impreuna. Pe vremea aceea PhenomenOn era doar un proiect.

Primul vocal, Asy Mitroi, a parasit grupul din cauza unor neintelegeri, fiind inlocuit de Catalin Tamazlicaru, care, a reusit foarte repede sa se integreze in trupa.

Incet, incet, trupa PhenomenOn a devenit din ce in ce importanta, membrii sai luand in serios repetitiile si concertele pe care le-au sustinut.

Acum toti cei 5 membrii ai trupei sunt prieteni, ei fiind cei ce compun piesele trupei, lucrand pentru aparitia primului album PhenomenOn.
