Born to a musical family, singer Vinod Rathod and musician and singer Roop Kumar Rathod are their paternal uncles.

In 1998, they composed a Gujarati album for the Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. Their first film album was Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke, which was released in 1998;[5] however, the film was released 3 years later. Indra Kumar had been with the duo at their initial recording and he went on to compose around forty tunes with them. In 1999, he invited them to compose music for his film Mann, starring Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala . The film was an average success but its songs became hugely popular. All the songs of Mann were copied from other popular hits, a Malaysian singer also filed a case against them for copying his song, and then Iwan won the case later.
