Nusrat Hussain (Urdu: نصرت حسین) started in the music industry with Vital Signs,[1] and he even appeared in the "Dil Dil Pakistan" video. Earlier, he played keyboards with bands that his frieds formed in Islamabad.
When Salman Ahmed, a member of the band (but who was not in the band when the Dil Dil Pakistan video was released) went his separate way, Nusrat joined him to form a Band with Ali Azmat as lead vocalist, a band called Junoon. If Vital Signs were the pioneers of pop music in Pakistan, Junoon were the pioneer of sufi rock[citation needed], an eclectic mix of rock'n'roll and traditional ethnic music with religious undertones.
After spending some time with Vital Signs, and Junoon, Hussain ventured on his own and released a solo album titled (Amrit). It was a sincere effort that reflected Nusrat's skills and experience in the music industry. Unfortunately, the album did not do quite as well as expected. It could have been that he was a relatively unknown in the pop music scene.
Nusrat Hussain is a professional pilot and flies the Airbus A310 of Pakistan International Airlines as a Captain (PIA).
