Early life and background

Atul Gogavale was born on 11 September 1974 in Alandi, Pune, Maharashtra. He grew up moving between villages in Maharashtra due to his father’s job in the revenue department. Music became part of his life early: Atul and his younger brother Ajay began composing simple pieces while still in primary school and performed with local bands at temples and community events. Their family faced financial constraints, so the brothers learned largely by doing and by befriending people who owned instruments. After their father gave them a keyboard, the siblings continued developing their musical skills through practice rather than formal training.

Career

After finishing his graduation, Atul relocated from Pune to Mumbai with Ajay to pursue a career in music. Their first notable project was an international non-film album titled Vishwavinayaka.

Beyond songs, Atul and Ajay have created background scores and theme music for television and institutional presentations. Their credits include background work for serials and theme pieces such as a Sony Marathi theme and the Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 theme. They also contributed music to presentations used by the Prime Minister’s Office to introduce Make In India to foreign delegates.

Atul has credits as a producer as well, with a Marathi production credit for Jaundya Na Balasaheb (2016). The duo’s album work includes Vishwavinayak (2001), Shri Ram Mantra (2002), Bedhund (2003), and Vishwatma (2006).
