Jeet Gannguli (pronounced [dʒit ɡaŋɡuli], born Chandrajeet Ganguly, on 24 May 1971) is an Indian playback singer and composer who works in Hindi and Bengali cinema.[2][3][4]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Born in a Kulin Bengali Brahmin family, Gannguli was initiated into the world of music at the age of three. He was a student of Baranagore Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama High School from where he completed his schooling. Later he graduated from the University of Calcutta.[citation needed] He is trained in Indian classical music under the guidance of his father Kali Ganguly and his pisima (father's sister) Shibani Roychowdhury. He studied western classical music, jazz and rock with jazz guitarist Carlton Kitto.[5]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Gannguli got his first break when Sanjay Gadhvi was signed on to direct Tere Liye and he, in turn, signed on his friends Jeet Gannguli and Pritam as music composers. In 2002 Yash Raj Films signed Gadhvi up to direct Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, for which the Gannguli-Pritam duo composed the music.[citation needed] But due to some misunderstanding, soon after the film, Gannguli decided to split and the partners went their separate ways.

He then started scoring music for Hindi and Bengali films, TV serials and Jingles.[6][7]

He has composed several songs for several Hindi movies like Khamoshiyan, Aashiqui 2, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, Rustom, Raaz Reboot, etc. which became hits.

Gannguli has also composed several songs for Bengali films like Shubhodrishti, Chirodini Tumi Je Amar, Mon Mane Na, Challenge, Dui Prithibi, Paglu, Awara, Paglu 2, Challenge 2, Boss: Born to Rule, Rangbaaz, Chirodini Tumi Je Amar, Boss 2: Back To Rule, Tonic.
