It was in the same year that Jamshed had his first contract as an actor signed. It also happened to be his only acting contract with Dhundle Raste.
In 1994, he decided to mix a solo career with being a member of the Vital Signs band. He released his first solo album in that same year and titled it Junaid of Vital Signs. In 1995, the band released Hum Tum, its fourth and final album. The band struggled to continue together but could not as issues began to arise among members which eventually led to them parting ways. After the Vital Signs disbanded, Jamshed focused on becoming a solo artist and in 1998, he released his second solo album titled Us Rah Par. In addition to making him more popular, the album added to his earnings as it was rated as one of the best-selling albums the year.
In subsequent years, Jamshed released his third and fourth album. The Best of Junaid Jamshed, the third album, was released in 2000 while his last solo album, Dil Ki Baat was released in 2001. In 2001, Junaid Jamshed began drifting away from music slowly and he started avoiding media attention. His scarce presence in the music scene caused his fourth album to flop in the market. Speculations of Junaid’s return to work as an engineer began to spread but sometime later, he spoke of launching a fashion designing company.
The decision to distance himself from music was largely influenced by the 9/11 attack, after his tour in the United States failed heavily due to tension generating in the west regarding the attack. In 2004, he finally put an end to his music career, making it official that he was dedicating his life to Islam fulltime.
