Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is primarily a singer in the Qawwali tradition native to Pakistan and India. He sings qawwalis and ghazals and other Sufi style songs. Son of Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan and nephew of the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat took over Nusrat's qawwali party after his death in 1997, as Nusrat had no sons of his own. Nusrat had taken him under his wing, and trained him in classical music and qawwali since a very early age. In an interview, Rahat's father Farrukh has spoken of how Rahat would be receiving musical instruction from Nusrat with a pacifier in his mouth.

Rahat began performing alongside Nusrat at the age of 10; he can be seen in numerous videos of Nusrat recorded in the 1980s.His first solo album Janasheen was a great hit,Being Nusrat's nephew, expectations of him were amazingly high. Though Rahat does carry shades of Nusrat, he has a presence of his own which definitely leaves a mark.
