Rahim Shah is a leading Pakistani pop singer. He started from Peshawar, NWFP, and is currently based in Karachi, Pakistan. He sings in Pashto, Urdu and Punjabi.He is an ethnic Pashtun.
Early lifeShah was born in Karachi where he was cultured and educated yet his ancestry origin is from Swat which has been the reason for the dearth of apparent Pashto vision in his life. Shah is multi-lingual and is fluent in Pashto, Urdu and Punjabi.Swat is his ancestral home, he speaks his ethnic language Pashto fluently.
CareerShah's solo career began in the late 1990s with lots of hits to his credit from the onset, to mention the song Ghum which broke popularity records. Ghum is not Rahim Shah's personal composition; it is an English folk song or tappa, sung by an anonymous singer. Haroon Bacha, a well-known Pashtun singer also sang Ghum, but it was Shah who made the song a hit because he translated the 'tappa' into Urdu and gave the song his own arrangement. In a short span of time, Shah has shown his singing talent beyond belief. He sang Ghum under the supervision of Salman Alvin and recorded his album working extremely hard on making it different to others. The song turned out to be a huge hit and was highly appreciated by the people. The song was plagiarised by Indian singer Altaf Raja who copied Shah's version of the song Ghum and through that Raja gained popularity on satellite channels.
His Pashto album Peera became an instant hit after its release. Another album called Sabaru had success with the tracks Tap Tap and Payal, in the same year he released another Pashto album titled Medda Medda. After taking a short time of reflection he returned back to work bringing another hit with the song Channa. He also worked on three videos that were Priya and Rang Lai Mehndi, directed by Sarwar whereas Suhail Javed directed his third video Tere Ishq Ne. Shah also sang Jhoola, which he wrote and dedicated to his mother whom he dearly loves.
Shah once said the only difference he saw between his debut album and his current album is the music arrangement.
His new '12 track' album has taken a year to produce and will be released by the help of Fire Records. Shah has placed a real touch to his arrangements and used authentic music in the songs. The album contains music from three genres: film based music, folk music and pop music. Currently he has also been working on a video with professional focus on high budget videos with visual and marketing aids, which are an essential requirement within today's music industry. Shah is known to have said, "There is no doubt that we (Pakistani's) have got very good music but they (Indians) have a very good market.
