Early life and education

Junaid Jamshed was born in Karachi to Jamshed Akbar Khan, a Pakistan Air Force group captain from Nowshera and Nafeesa Khan, the granddaughter of Loharu's nawab. Sahibzada Jahangir, a businessman based in London who has been one of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's founding members and whose son Sherry Jahangir was an actor well-known for his role as M.A. Jinnah Se Quaid was a PTV classic drama, whilst Kafeel Jahangir, an England-based domestic cricketer, has represented Hertfordshire as an all-rounder.

Jamshed wanted to join the Pakistan Air Force to become a fighter pilot after graduating from an international boarding high school in Yanbu' al Bahr, Saudi Arabia. However, his poor eyesight prevented this. He then enrolled in the University of Engineering and Technology in Lahore, where he studied mathematics and physics before determining his major in mechanical engineering. Jamshed earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1990, graduating in mechanical engineering.

Music career

Despite the fact that Vital Signs began in early 1986 in Rawalpindi by Keyboardist Rohail Hyatt and bassist Shahzad Hasan (Shahi), Jamshed, then a young engineering student from UET Lahore, joined them as their lead singer later that day. Since being granted a place in the underground music market in Islamabad and Lahore, they began performing in various parts of the country. The band was noticed and approached by the PTV's music officials in Islamabad, and Rana Kanwal, a student of the National Academy of Performing Arts, received a record deal. Kanwal was given an assignment to produce a music video and to join a music group. The band then moved to Islamabad and began working on Kanwal's first album, which was also known as "Chehra" (lit. Face (or not). "Chehra was the song we made for her," Hyatt says. It was the first time we wrote as an entity, and it was also a component of our first collection.' The band attracted the attention of record producer and broadcaster Shoaib Mansoor, who also studied at the National Academy of Performing Arts, during this period. Mansoor became acquainted with the band and performed on their first album, leading to the creation of a patriotic song.

Vital Signs 1, their first album, was finally released around the world and broadcast on PTV. "Dil Dil Pakistan" and "Tum Mil Gaye," their debut hit singles, were released on August 14th, 1987, giving them national recognition and acclaim. Both songs were big commercial hits and received acclaim from critics. The songs on the first album were a huge success, which completely shocked the band. Jamshed said that it was not something that would make him a professional musician in an interview with PTV. Jamshed claimed that his goals were to earn a degree in engineering to serve with the Pakistan Air Force, but that he didn't want to have anything to do with music other than simply treating it as a hobby. Jamshed earned a bachelor's degree in 1989 and served in the air force as a civil contractor for a short time before resigning from the air force.

Rohail and Shahzad were able to persuade him otherwise. The band reformed in 1998 and Jamshed embarked on a solo career, with increasing commercial success. Many hit songs were on display in Pakistani shops, and many multinational corporations had approached the band to write songs and promote their products to the Pakistani people. Their success boosted the Pakistani rock music industry to a national level, and they are often credited with helping the Pakistani music industry. The band's second album, Vital Signs 2, was released in 1991 by the EMI Studios in Pakistan. Despite the fact that the second album was not as popular as expected, the band also performed its first international tour in the United States.

The band reunited with Shoaib Mansoor once more in 1993 and released their third album, Aitebar. Jamshed also signed his first (and only) acting contract for PTV's television miniseries Dhundle Raste around the same time. Hum Tum, the band's fourth and last album, was released in early 1995. Various questions and difficulties among the band members began to surface in the media early in 1996. Maula, Shahzad Hasan left the United States after starting a computer engineering career with IBM after the release of their last single. Hyatt founded a recording company; Coke Studio, which would later flourish as a fruitful company.

In 1994, Jamshed released his first solo album, Junaid of Vital Signs. The album's name was later changed to Tumhara Aur Mera Naam by the record makers. Jamshed released the Us Rah Par (lit.) after separating from Vital Signs in 1998. (On that way) In 1999, a new breed of humans appeared in this country. Us Rah Parpar's second solo album debuted on the internet and became one of 1999's best-selling albums. Several singles that became famous and became overnight sleeper hits were included on the album. The majority of such songs, including "Us Rah Par," "Na Tu Ayegi," "Aankhon Ney," and "O Sanama," were the ultimate commercial hits of all time. Jamshed's third album, The Best of Junaid Jamshed, featured remixes of some of the top hits of the Vital Signs period, but it accurately captured the mix's popularity. Dil Ki Baat, his fourth and last solo album, was released in 2001, and attracted a lot of national and media attention.

BBC World Service conducted a survey in 2003 to determine the most popular songs. Around 7,000 songs were chosen from around the world. People from 155 countries/territories voted in the referendum, according to BBC. "Dil Dil Pakistan" debuted third among the top ten songs on the charts.

The media began speculating about Jamshed's demigration from music shortly after the Vital Signs faded away in 1999. After Jamshed' solo albums and continued world tours, the rumors soon faded. Jamshed was out of the public eye and avoided media interest after 2001. His last two albums did not do well in the market, and there were no encouraging comments from the country's music critics. Shahi and Hyatt, his former colleagues, were watching him struggle with the change from one world to another. He grew distant from Hyatt, who went on to produce music. After leaving the Vital Signs band, he had trouble financially, and Shoaib Mansoor came to assist him financially after being given the opportunity in the Gulls & Guys television series.

Following the 9/11 attacks in the United States, Hyatt and Jamshed's tours in the West struggled with a slew of questions raised by Westerners regarding the country's history, terrorism, and music. Jamshed filed for bankruptcy in court and began anew his engineering career after working at various companies. Theories of Jamshed first emerged on social media, so media outlets hired some paparazzi to cover Jamshed. Jamshed had distanced himself from music and had been praying five times a day at the nearby mosque, as it was often reported. Jamshed, who had been out of work from his engineering career for 20 years, had announced that he would start a fashion-designing business with a close friend of his. After announcing that he had devoted his life to Islam, Jamshed officially renounced music in 2004. Jamshed first left engineering and, later, to supplement his income, he opened the clothing store "J." "I am selling Khaadis (a Kurta-Shalwar type)."

Mansoor admitted that he was greatly affected when Jamshed stepped away from music in a Chowk Magazine interview in 2007.

Mansoor produced and wrote the script for the hit film Khuda Kay Liye, which was released in 2007. Mansoor said that the film was inspired by Jamshed's life and gave him a leading role in replacement of Shaan Shahid. Jamshed wrote and directed Jamshed when he was given the opportunity. Jamshed later declined to be a part of the film, but Mansoor maintained that "response to this one convinced people that Jamshed was not sure about his future and that the Islamist experience was just a phase."

However, Jamshed did appear in certain circles, but in private, that is. Bilal Maqsood of Strings, a guitarist, held an annual open-mic jam session at his house. One attendee at Maqsood's party remembered that "but once he (Junaid) began singing, he couldn't avoid." He was having so much fun singing, he was on a roll." Maqsood said later in the night, he dropped his wife Ayesha home and then returned to perform some more. Jamshed was one of the few people to leave that evening.
