[edit] Early life and FamilyJunaid Jamshed is the son of Group Captain(retd) Jamshed Akber Khan & Nafeesa Akber Khan. His father was a Pakistan Air Force officer. He belongs to a Pashtun and Urdu-speaking family. Junaid Jamshed studied in PAF College in Karachi before joining University of Technology, Lahore. Though he applied to join Pakistan Air Force but later moved on to a career in Engineering due to his weak eye sight.[1] [edit] Vital SignsThough the Vital Signs were launched in early 1986 in Rawalpindi by Rohail Hyatt and Shahzad Hasan (Shahi), it was a while later when Junaid, then a young engineering student from Lahore, joined them as their lead singer. Though their hit debut single "Dil Dil Pakistan" skyrocketed them into fame, the song's success was not seen by him as something that would turn him into a professional musician. Junaid who wanted to become a professional engineer, initially didn't want to have anything to do with music other than just treating it as a hobby. However, Rohail and Shahzad soon managed to convince him otherwise.[2]. In 2003, BBC World Service conducted an international poll to choose ten most famous songs of all time. Around 7000 songs were selected from all over the world. According to BBC, people from 155 countries/islands voted Dil Dil Pakistan was third in top 10 songs.[3] [edit] Devotion to IslamIn around 2004 Junaid renounced music and devoted his life to Islam.[4] Junaid is now an active member of the Tablighi Jamaat[5] (The phrase "Tablighi Jamaat" translates to "Preachers Group"). He is also noted for opening a clothing store selling Khaadis (a fashionable form of Kurta Shalwar). [edit] Haamd-o-Naat Albums
