Formation of Jal Goher and Atif Aslam were college fellows and they used to sing in college concerts. They thought to form a band and released their first song "Aadat" on the Internet. The song was written and composed by Goher and sung by Atif. By the time the song was released it became a major hit in the subcontinent and all radio and TV stations started playing that song.

After the major hit, "Aadat", Goher and Atif started getting concert queries, they then decided to give a proper name to their band, so they named it Jal ( water in Sanskrit) and performed in various concerts with this name and line-up of Goher on guitars and Atif on vocals.

Later on Atif, left the band because of some differences and he pursued his solo career, while Goher formed the new line-up and brought Farhan Saeed on vocals and Amir Sheraz (Shazi) on bass. With this new line-up, Jal released their first studio album Aadat in 2003. The album was a major hit in both Pakistan and India and won various awards. With the same line-up, Jal released Boondh in 2007, and again it was a major hit and the band won many awards. They performed in numerous concerts with the same line-up. Jal also performed two songs in Coke Studio (Pakistan) in season 4.

In 2011, Farhan Saeed left the band because of some personal differences. Therefore, Goher took the position of lead vocalist and brought Saad Sultan on lead guitar.

Jal released album, Pyass worldwide in 2013 and performed in many concerts with this line-up. The album was nominated as best album of the year in Hum Awards and Lux Style Awards.
