From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Farhan Saeed Butt (Urdu: فرحان سعید بٹ) is the 21 year old lead singer of the Pakistani band Jal. Born on September 14, 1984, he is known for his distinctive vocal stylings. At the tender age of 6, Farhan started showing his love for music. He grew up absorbedly listening to his father and his brothers sing. By the age of 9, he was already singing alongside his brothers and his father. Up until he gave his O levels at Crescent, Farhan only sang among his family and friends at which time his greatest support was his two brothers, Salman and Haroon Saeed, both talented musicians.

In 1999 when Farhan was starting his A levels at KIMS, he started singing in front of larger audiences. He was acknowledged by his fellow students and teachers and went on to winning numerous competitons. In 2001, Farhan went on to FAST for his bachelors degree. There, during a singing competition, Zulfikar Jabbar Khan ,a.k.a Xulfi eP, was siting in the audience and he was impressed by Farhan's classical yet modern-contemporary style. In mid-2004, Sultan Raja, bassist of another Pakistani band Call, introduced Farhan to Goher Mumtaz who was in search of a lead singer.

Apart from Jal's debut hit single "Aadat" which was re-done in Farhan's vocals, he has to his credit 7 other tracks for the Jal's debut album which include "Rangon Main," "Ik Din Aaye Ga," "Lamhay," "Teri Yaad," "Manchala," "Har Jaga Hai Jal," and "Bikhra Hoon Main."
