After graduating from local boarding high school in Lahore, Jamshed proceeded to join the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), initially focusing to become a professional F-16 fighter pilot.
However, due to weak eye-sight, his nomination papers were rejected by the PAF selection board.
In 1983, he started performing rock music gig.
The song ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’— released on Independence Day— in 1987 took him to the eternal heights of fame. Later, his music album ‘Vital Signs’ became immensely popular.
