I loved music but I never thought of ending up here. They (the guitar lessons) were a way for my parents to push me to take part in an extra circular activity since I was very shy."〔 Hayat's earliest lessons of the guitar were conducted by Sajid Ghafoor.〔 Later, he enrolled in an after-school guitar lesson group in the International School of Peshawar and learnt the fundamentals of guitar from Sarmad Abdul Ghafoor.〔 When he was ten years old, his father was persecuted at the hands of General Pervez Musharraf during the 1999 Pakistani coup d'état.〔Staff (6 October 2010).

Subsequently, the demo was heard by Fasi Zaka, a music critic, and was positively perceived.〔 In the following months, Zaka met with Hayat's father at a gathering where Zaka discussed the possibility of Jehangir pursuing his interest in music by making a music video for his track "Never Change".
