Shahid was named by great singer, Mohammed Rafi, who taught his father.

 

He originally belongs to Sri Ganganagar city of Punjab who brought up in Rajasthan. But his passion to music prompted him to shift with his family to Mumbai in the year 2002. He learnt the first lessons of music from his father, an ardent fan of Mohammed rafi. Surprisingly Shahid’s father learnt music from this great singer. In fact Shahid got his name from this legendary singer, who gave him the name, as requested by his father. Rafi picked his own son’s name and gave it to Shahid. His father, a disciple of Rafi used to sing at dargahs in Rajasthan. Shahid too received training from his home.

 

He is active in the music industry since 2010. Initially he did playback for TV serials and sang jingles. “Gurbani” in “Yamla Pagla Deewana” (2010) marked his singing debut, followed by an item song "Do Dhaari Talwaar" of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan composed by Sohail Sen. With the couple of hits, “Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye" and "Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi (Reprise)", he achieved great recognition and success. Though more than 20 singers sang both these songs, only Shahid’s voice was retained.
