Early life

Rahim Shah was born, raised and educated in Karachi. His career is still based in Karachi. He is an ethnic Pukhtun. His father is from Swat.[1]

Career

Rahim Shah's solo career began in the late 1990s with successful singles. Ghum was particularly successful.[1]

Audience in India

Shah attracted the attention of Indian audience with his 1999 song Pehle Toh Kabhi Kabhi Ghum Tha. According to a major English-language newspaper in Pakistan, "Ghum is not Rahim Shah's personal composition. It is an Afghani folk song or tappa, sung by an anonymous singer. Later famous Pushto singer, Haroon Bacha, also sang it, but the credit goes to Rahim Shah who translated the "tappa" into Urdu and gave it his own arrangement."[1] This was later re-copied by Indian singer Altaf Raja.[1]
