Rizwan–ul–Haq is a Pakistani guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, occasional actor, music composer, record producer, and backing vocalist, earning fame as lead guitarist for the acclaimed band, Vital Signs.[1] Studied music and business at lansdowne collage in london and a true friend of Rohail Hyatt, he joined the Vital Signs in 1991 following the departure of Salman Ahmad.[1]

Rizwan-ul-Haq was noted as band's premier member who felt right at home plucking out melodic riffs and leads and hanging on well with the album’s somber mood.[2] He composed guitar tunes and melodies for the rest of three albums, VS 2 (1991), Aitebar (1993), and Hum Tum (1995). After recording the last album in 1995, Rizwan-ul-Haq left the band to work as a music composer and recording producer for the PTV.[1] In addition, he has an amazing collection of almost 25 gibson les paul gutairs Qsince 2008.[2] In 2012, he release his first solo album, Dil Ruba, and also release many of vintage songs with new guitar melodies that he had recorded during his times as Vital Signs' lead guitarist.[3]
