Career

Bogas' contributions span four decades and several genres. In the 1960s Bogas was a member of the progressive rock/psychedelic band The United States of America, and in the 1970s he contributed the music for films by Ralph Bakshi and for television specials for the "Peanuts" series. In the 1980s he started composing music for Commodore 64 computer games like "Hardball!"

He continued writing music for "Peanuts" television specials through 1989 ("This Is America, Charlie Brown"), and in 1982 he also began contributing music for "Garfield" TV specials and series. He composed the music for all 121 half-hours of "Garfield and Friends", and co-wrote all the songs for the Garfield segments with future wife Desirée Goyette for the first three seasons, and with writer Mark Evanier for the rest of the run. Goyette and Bogas have two children (Benjamin and Lily).

Currently Bogas writes music for broadcast commercials, television and film with his San Francisco company, Bogas Productions.
