SHORT PROFILE
Jal was formed in Lahore in 2002 when Goher Mumtaz composed his first song by the name of "Aadat." Soon after, began his search for like minded musicians to complete his band. He ran into Shazi (Aamir) – a Bass guitarist and after a few jamming sessions he invited Shazi to join Jal ,and together they went about looking for a vocalist. Some time later Gohar heard Atif singing in a local College Music Competition, impressed by his vocal range he offered Atif to join the band and to do vocals for the song "Aadat." Jal's first single "Aadat" was released in Dec 2003. Before the release of it's video "Aadat" was released on the internet through a local Pakistani web portal. The song enjoyed the status of the most downloaded Pakistani song on the internet for quite some time and was extensively popular by the time the video was released.
Directed by Umer Anwar the single burst into the Pakistani music scene and took it by storm. Receiving an amazing amount of air time by all the music channels and entering music charts. The video was rated 4 th best Video of the year 2003 by ARY –The Musik within days of it's release. The success of the "Aadat" can partly be gauged by the countless concert offers the band received immediately after the release of the song and partly by it's ratting to date on music channels.
However, by the end of December 2003 due to musical differences, Atif parted ways with the band while Gohar once again searched for a Lead vocalist for Jal. It was then that Sultan Raja (Bassist of Call) introduced Farhan Saeed Butt to Gohar and thus Jal found a new voice. By the time Jal came up with their new line-up "Aadat's" video was already doing rounds on the local music channels with the former singer Atif Aslam's vocals. The song was thus re-done for the official release in their debut album.
