Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was conferred the Padma Bhushan in 2009.[4] She passed away at her Mumbai residence on the night of April 23, 2013 after prolonged illness.
Shamshad Begum started singing in 1933. When she sang for the film Khazanchi in 1941, she was already well established. Begum started her radio career on Lahore Radio on December 16, 1937, captivating the hearts of her listeners with the enchanting depth of her voice. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. According to accounts of her life, Shamshad Begum's singing ambitions, which she had from 1929, met opposition from her family and when she finally won a contract with a recording company, her father agreed to let her sing on the condition that she would record in a burka and not allow herself to be photographed.[6]She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5,000 on the completion of the contract on Xenophone, a renowned music recording company. She promised her father that she would never appear before the camera, and so forged a long and successful camera in the recording studio. She never posed for any pictures and not many people saw her pictures anywhere. Until the end of the 1970s, her fans did not know her face at all, though everybody could recognise her melodious voice as it was used by the great maestros like Naushad Ali and O. P. Nayyar.She started giving few interviews only from late 1980's and gave her last interview in 2012. Even today, her songs from the 1940's, 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s are popular and continue to be remixed. Without any formal lessons in music, she had a distinct inimitable voice. Shamshad was born in Amritsar and had no known Pakistani connection post 1947. She had of course rendered songs in the pre-Partition days from Peshawar and Lahore radio stations.
Begum sang for the All India Radio (AIR) through her musical group 'The Crown Imperial Theatrical Company of Performing Arts', set up in Delhi. The then AIR Lahore helped her entering the world of movies as they frequently broadcast her songs, which induced music directors to use her voice for their films. Shamshad also recorded naats and devotional music for a couple of gramophone recording companies.

Shamshad also recorded naats and devotional music for a couple of gramophone recording companies.
Her crystal-clear voice caught the attention of sarangi maestro Ustad Hussain Bakshwale Saheb, who took her as his disciple. She and Noorjahaan were discovered by Ustad Ghulam Haider in early 1930's and 1940's respectively. Lahore-based composer Ghulam Haider used her voice skillfully in some of his earlier films like Khazanchi (1941) and Khandaan (1942). When he moved to Bombay in 1944, Shamshad went with him as a member of his team, leaving behind her family and staying with her Chacha (paternal uncle). She is credited with singing one of the first Westernised songs, Meri jaan...Sunday ke Sunday by C. Ramchandra. Naushad acknowledged he was indebted to her in reaching the top as Shamshad Begum was famous personality already even before Naushad made a name for himself in late 1940's and after the tracks sung by her became a rage, his talent got recognized by people. Similarly though S.D.Burman was composing Bengali music since 1937, he achived national fame with tracks sung by Shamshad in Hindi films beginning with songs fom Shikari and Shabnam. It was Shamshad's solo and duet songs sung for Naushad in the late 40's and early 1950's which made Naushad famous. After Nausahd became successful he recorded songs with new singers as well in the early 1950's but kept working with Shamshad in late 50's and early 1960's. Naushad chose his favourite singer Shamshad Begum once again to sing four out of the 12 songs in Mother India. O.P. Nayyar described her voice as that of a "temple bell" for its clarity of tone and worked with her more in 1950's till late 1960's. She sang extensively for composers - Naushad, O.P.Nayyar, C Ramchandra and S.D.Burman from 1946-1960. Begum became a national rage between the early 1940s and the early 1960s, having a voice different from her peers like Noorjehan, Mubarrak Begum, Suraiya, Sudha Malhotra, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Geeta Dutt and Amirbai Karnataki. In 1949 music directors S.Rajeshwara Rao, M.D.Parthasarathy & Balakrishna Kalla made her sing for P.Bhanumati - Jaiyo Jaiyo Shipayon Bazar in film Nishan produced by Gemini Films of Madras which was a rage. S.D.Burman was not well-established as a music director in Hindi films till 1946 and at that time, he asked Shamshad to do playback in his debut Hindi film as music director - Shikari in 1946 with the song - Kuch Rang Badal Rahi. S.D.Burman made her sing duets with Mukesh in 1949 film Shabnam named Pyar Main Tumne and Kismat Bhi Bhichadna which became popular. In 1949, came Shabnam, S.D.Burman's biggest hit untill then with Filmistan, especially noticeable for its multi-lingual hit song Yeh Duniya Roop ki Chor, by Shamshad Begum, picturised on Kamini Kuashal, which became a rage in those days S.D.Burman made her sing tracks later in Bazar(1950),Mashal(1950), Bahar(1951), Shahenshah(1953), Miss India(1957) etc. The song Jaam Tham Le from Shahenshah (1953) was a trendsetter for S.D.Bumran compositions. Her songs picturised on Nigar Sultana like Teri Mehfil Mein from Mughal E Azam and Mere Piyan Gaye from Patanga(1949), then Saiyan Dil Mein Aana Re picturised on Vyjantimala and on Minoo Mumtaz like Boojh Mera Naam Hai are extremely popular till today. Milte hi aankhen dil hua from - Babul (1950) had a romantic duet by Talat Mahmood and Shamshad Begum picturised on Dilip Kumar and Munawar Sultana which became popular as well. Her duet with Rafi - Chhala Deja Nishani from Bazar(1949) became a mega-hit. She has recorded duets with Kishore Kumar as well like Gori ke Nainon Mein Nindiya Bhari from Angarey(1954) and Mere Neendon Me Tum from Naya Andaz. Shamshad Begum has sung songs together with Lata and Asha like the song Mubarak Ho Woh Dil Jisko from Benazir(1964). Lata Mangeshkar started her playback singing when Shamshad Begum was at the peak of her career.In their first song together Lata Mangeshkar was a part of the chorus while Shamshad Begum was the main singer. Later begining with the song Dar Na Mohabbat Karle from Andaz(1949), Lata and Shamshad have sung many duets together from 1949-1960 with famous being Pyar Ke Jahan Ki from 1949 film Patanga, Bachpan Ke Din 1951's Deedar and their last song together was Mughal - E - Azam's song Teri Mehfil Mein Qismat in 1960.
