They began performing in different parts of the country after having secured a place in the underground music industry in Islamabad and Lahore.

Finally, their first album, Vital Signs 1, was released nationwide and got on-aired on PTV. Though their debut hit single, “Dil Dil Pakistan” and “Tum Mil Gaye”, was released on 14 August 1987, skyrocketed them into national fame and national prominence. Both songs were the biggest commercial hit and had garnered highly critical acclaims of their work.

The band split in 1998 and Jamshed began a solo career, achieving increasing commercial success.

During the 1980s-2000s, Jamshed enjoyed a great success in the public and media, and was one of the followed celebrities of his time.

Quitting Music

As early as 1999, Media had been speculating about Junaid s drift from music soon after the Vital Signs faded away. The speculations soon died after Junaid released his single albums in mere two years and continued world tours. After 2001, Jamshed disappeared from the public eye, and avoided the media attention. Over the years, Junaid stay distant from Hyatt who continued to work on producing music.

After 9/11 attacks in the United States, Hyatt and Junaid s tours in the West struggled a lot regarding questions from Westerners about country s culture, terrorism, and music. Upon returning, Junaid filed a bankruptcy and made a triumphant attempt to push his career in engineering after applying at various companies. It was highly reported that Jamshed has distanced himself from music and has been praying five times a day regularly at the nearby mosque. Finally, Jamshed, who had been out of practice from his engineering career 20 years ago, announced to step into fashion-designing industry alongside his close friend. In 2004, Jamshed officially renounced music and engineering after announcing to devoted his life to Islam. Jamshed renounced engineering and to supplement his income, he opened a clothing store “J.”, selling Khaadis (a form of Kurta-Shalwar).

In 2007 Government of Pakistan awarded him Tamgha-e-Imtiaz.

Thank you for sharing, but even if he had nothing to do with PAF or had no achievements, its such a shame that people can't digest someone being honored at their funeral. Edhi was also honored by Army, what exactly was his relation with Army? The army did it because the people loved him and same goes for JJ.

Ignore them bro. They are mentally retarded

His brother resembles him....?

Kash JJ wali qismat mari hoti....aur ye din mujhay naseeb hota...

 

[FlyingAce]

JJ, deserved this after all his work for Promoting Pakistan & A True Patriotic Pakistani who till the end Tried to Spread Happiness, Harmony among Different Sects & Faiths, that's not a easy thing to do in Pakistan where you get bashed every now & then...
May HE REST IN PEACE...

Airforce should stay away from these issues. He was a controversial figure. On one hand, our top brass vows to work on a secular path but on the other hand they show these steps. Paradoxes!!

Junaid Jamshed was only controversial for those who are blind, dumb and deaf. He is a national hero and so is Edhi. We, Pakistanis love them both and highly appreciate the respect given by Pakistan Army and Pakistan AirForce to Edhi and JJ respectively.

The Government "could" have taken the initiative to do this. It didn't and remained asleep. The void was very appropriately filled by those who "could", and so they "did". Don't blame the armed forces. Blame your incompetent and pathetically corrupt political government.

 

[Techy Hassan]

He was a sensitive person and clearly shows the trend of Pakistani youth turning into conservatives because of the mad West saying peace, peace all the time and destroying peace of the world all the time. The good thing in him is that he was alive and always trying to be better. Quite possible some people read the trend he was following and did not want him to say the things he was quite possibly going to say if he lived...

This is your own point of view. Everyone does not agree with you. He is no more so his matter is with Allah Kareem. But the statement given by him were not good. I hope you and every sane person cannot listen those words about his or her parents which he used about the sacred personalities of Islam.

This is a controversy... His supporting deobandi ulema supported him and his opposite Brelvi Ulema presented another point of view. IMHO, such protocol for a controversial figure is unjustified.
