They began meeting after school to write songs, and perform them in front of their friends later on. Eventually, other schools in the area began to request performances. These small cafeteria performances grew into larger gymnasium performances. Taking note of their increased popularity, national radio stations started playing Bonka music in full rotation.“El problem\u00f3n” was the first track David recorded for the band. After a few months after its launch, the song reached number one on Colombia’s national charts. Their next track, “La Mona,” reached the charts as well. These two songs are added to their first album Lo Que Nunca Nos Contamos. Other tracks include “Tarde de Abril”, “La Visa”, and “Hoy”. The album reached record breaking status for sales volume within the first week, David had an important role for Bonka creating songs like ” La Mona” and “Te Pedir\u00e9” previously mentioned, the band then eventually achieved platinum status in Colombia.

Tracks include “La Era De La Gozadera”, “Las estaciones Del Amor”, and “M\u00e1s Que Ayer”. This time, the album achieved gold status in Colombia for its high volume of sales.Soon after, the group recorded a new single entitled “Bien Cerquita”, which features Dominican artist Fuego. The single achieved recognition, including a nomination for the official song of the largest TV network in Ecuador, as well as its selection by the Universal Music Spain as part of the 2012 Summer Hits album. Later in 2012, the band released another single, “Mis Ojos Lloran Por Ti”, featuring fellow Colombian band Pasabordo. The success of these two singles led the group to be invited to perform at the “Evento 40”, which was organized by Colombian radio station “40 Principales”. They were also invited to perform at “Premios Nuestra Tierra 2012”, where they received a nomination for “Tropical\/Pop Group of the Year”.In 2013, Bonka released the single “A Escondidas” featuring Argentinean artist Jessi Le\u00f3n.
