Rohail Hyatt (Urdu: روحیل حیات), is a Pakistani record producer, keyboardist, and composer. As record producer Hyatt is largely credited with helping shape and pioneer Western-style rock and pop genres in Pakistan's music industry.
In 1987, Hyatt founded the Vital Signs and released its commercially hit and critically acclaimed album, Vital Signs 1. 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 the 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.
