Born Edgar Noel Bogas, Ed Bogas is a musician whose contributions span four decades and several genres. In the 1960's Bogas was a member of the progressive rock/psychedelic band The United States of America, and in the '70s he contributed the music for films by Ralph Bakshi and for television specials for the Peanuts series.

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. In fact, 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.

Sometime around 1993 Bogas married fellow Peanuts and Garfield contributor Desirée Goyette, to whom he is still married and with whom he has two children (Benjamin and Lily).

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