The first album included the international number-one single "''Dil Dil Pakistan''", and "(''Tum Mil Gaye''" ), which was composed by Hyatt. The big commercial success of Vital Signs' first album helped rise and shape the rock music industry of Pakistan.〔 In 1991, Hyatt produced and released the band's second album, Vital Signs 2, distributed by the EMI Studios Pakistan, though it had mixed reviews.〔 From the period, 1993–95, Hyatt gained public fame and critical acclaims for composing the two best-selling albums which improved the recognition of his work in the music industry.〔 In 1998, Hyatt discontinued the band after facing various issues, leaving Junaid Jamshed focused on his solo career. Hyatt later founded Pyramid Productions which subsequently emerged as one of most prominent music producing companies of Pakistan, and produced the first ''Ghazal'' album, featuring Fateh Ali Khan.〔 In 2007, he composed the music of highly critical acclaimed and internationally successful film, ''Khuda Kay Liye'' which helped shaping his image and work in the international community.〔 In 2008, he founded the international music outlet, ''Coke Studio'' and is credited with featuring Pakistan's notable and newcomer featured artists, which is broadcast each season.〔 ==Early life and education== Hyatt grew up in Rawalpindi, Punjab Province of Pakistan in the prominent Jatt Khattar family of Sir Liaqat Hayat Khan, a prominent Punjabi leader of British times of whom Hyatt is great-grandson.〔http://www.urduwire.com/people/rohail-hyatt_422.aspx〕 He studied at St. Mary's Academy before embarking on his career in music.〔 Hyatt recalls that his interest in music grew in his early childhood and his parents encouraged his interest in Western music. He grew up in the midst of "a serious hippie community.〔 His parents' choice was dominated by Nat King Cole and Engelbert Humperdinck, but after his parents bought him his first keyboard, he began composing traditional Pakistan music.〔 His mother had great impact on him and his interest in music: she arranged music lessons for him to learn keyboard. Hyatt recalls that "his mother had him go to sleep in the afternoons by putting the radio on, and it was all local pop music.〔 However, his interest in producing and playing Western music began after his aunt bought Pink Floyd's ''The Wall'' album in 1980, which he listened to for hours.〔 About the Pink Floyd, he reportedly quoted: "That just did it for me. It opened up a whole new direction of soundscapes and influences."〔 During his youth, he was a member of the Under-19 Pakistan cricket team and it seemed that his future was in the sport until he came across Rizwan-ul-Haq.〔 The two became acquaintance and Hyatt discovered that Haq was also a guitarist after Haq played guitar at school playing the song.〔 At the Peshawar University, he met with guitarist Shahzad Hasan (Shahi) and decided to form the band, although no name for new band was reached.〔 In 1980s, he was a member of two underground bands – Progressions and Crude X.〔 Bassist Nusrat Hussain, whom he cites as a major influence in learning and on his outlook on music along with the global acts of that era, was a member of Progressions and Shahi was in Crude X.〔 During the mid of 1980s, Hyatt left the university and referred himself as "a bum," in the university.〔 Hyatt later was employed at the British embassy where he worked in a desk job. He later abandoned this job as the idea of playing keyboards and guitar in a band was far more alluring.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rohail Hyatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
