Early life

Avinash Chandrachud and Vishwajeet Joshi began their careers independently in the music industry. They first met while working on the same album, unaware of each other's contributions. When the album was completed, they realized their musical styles and creative visions were remarkably aligned. This realization led to their decision to collaborate as a duo, officially forming Avinash-Vishwajeet. Their shared vision and mutual respect for each other's creativity have been the foundation of their long-standing partnership.[1][2][3]

Musical career

They began their career in 2007, composing music for many Marathi movies. The duo has composed music for numerous Marathi films and television shows. They have also created original scores and jingles, working across multiple languages and genres.[3]

Avinash-Vishwajeet’s international breakthrough came during the COVID-19 lockdown. Their journey into Hollywood began when a relative from Paris approached them to create an instrumental rhythm track. This collaboration gained attention in France, leading to an opportunity to compose a Punjabi wedding song for Murder Mystery 2.[4]

"The Great Indian Wedding" was crafted to suit a narrative involving an Indian Maharaja’s wedding, incorporating traditional Punjabi beats while aligning with the film's storyline. The song was launched at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and received global acclaim.[5]
