Her debut was in a music festival called ''Festival Bintang Radio & Televisi'' in 1987 when she was 15 years old and won 2nd place. In 1989, she participated in the same festival, and eventually she won first place. This is where she was offered a record deal by Billboard. She released her first record in 1990, titled ''Jatuh Cinta Lagi''. In 1991, she released another record, titled ''Hilang Permataku'', while in 1992 she released ''Salah Tingkah''. Her career peaked with the release of the record ''Mengapa Tiada Maaf'' in 1995. The record was sold as many as 1.5 million copies, thus BASF awarded her with 4 Platinum Records. She also received 3 more Platinum Records for the Indonesian version of the soundtrack of the martial arts TV series ''Return of the Condor Heroes''.
Her choice of songs is mainly popular old melancholic songs, one of which is the ''Keroncong'' style. However, her career came to a halt due to a surge in new pop groups that appealed more to a young audience.<ref>[http://selebriti.kapanlagi.com/yuni_shara/ Yuni Shara profile] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091021152356/http://selebriti.kapanlagi.com/yuni_shara/ |date=October 21, 2009 }}</ref>
