Early life
Junaid is the son of Jamshed & Nafeesa Akber Khan. His father was an officer of the Pakistan Air Force. He studied in boarding school before joining University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. Though he applied for the Pakistan Air Force he was infuriated when he was not selected.
- Siblings: Brother Humayun Jamshed, Omer Jamshed and sister Muneeza
- Wife: Ayesha

He studied at P.A.F School Shahra-e-Faisal for a bit while his father was posted at P.A.F Faisal base.
Career
Junaid worked as a consultant in an engineering firm right after his BE in Mechanical Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, before entering the Pakistani music scene.
Vital Signs
Though the Vital Signs were launched in early 1986 in Rawalpindi by Rohail Hayatt and Shahzad Hassan, 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. Though Rohail and Shahzad soon managed to convince him otherwise.[1]
Junaid Jamshed has left music industry completely at the peak of his career. He has devoted his life solely to rectifiying the Muslim population who have strayed from the right path of Tauheed and Sunnah.[Tablighi Jamaat]
