Haider is best known as a playback singer in commercially and critically acclaimed films Khuda Kay Liye (2007) and Bol (2011). He wrote and performed a song in an Indian film Ru Ba Ru (2008) and served as music director for Lux Style Awards for two years.

Describing his work experience Haider said, "Right now people in the film industry aren’t making music properly. The music for Bol and Khuda Kay Liye, on the other hand, was very conceptual. The brilliant thing about Shoaib sahab is that you know exactly what he wants from you," he further said, "sound without vision is nothing. It’s like hammering a nail. It’s not music."
