Born in Yalova to Turkish immigrant parents from Skopje, Macedonia, Ferah got her first guitar when she was in the first year in boarding at Bursa Namık Sözeri High School. She took lessons on the acoustic guitar, and during her second year she hired a studio with her friends and formed the group Pegasus. The group had their first stage experience during a rock festival in Bursa, in 1987. After a while, Pegasus disbanded. In 1988 with her four friends, Ferah formed Volvox, which was named after a microorganism that they had encountered in a biology lesson.
After a period during which she attended Middle East Technical University, studying economics in Ankara, she moved to Istanbul, where she attended classes on English language and literature at the Istanbul University. For two years she performed in various bars with Volvox, until they disbanded in 1994.
She released her first solo album, Kadın in 1996, and has gone on to release a total of six full studio albums, the last one being Benim Adım Orman, released in 2009. In addition to composing the music and writing the lyrics of every song in her albums, she occasionally sings on stage cover versions of work by artists of similar vocal qualities and style, such as Amy Lee and Skin.
On her third album, Perdeler, she collaborated with the Finnish cello rock band Apocalyptica.
Ferah's current group consists of Buket Doran (bass guitar), Metin Türkcan (electric guitar), Aykan İlkan (drums), and Ozan Tügen (keyboard), who have been performing with her in studio and on stage since her third album, Perdeler.

In Şebnem Ferah's song "Ay," the singer reveals that they have fallen in love with the moonlight. They are distant from it, but they have made love knowing that this is their end. They are willing to embrace this end because they wish that the night wouldn't end. The moonlight is their salvation, as they feel compelled to surrender to it. The first two lines are repeated in the second verse; emphasizing the singer's attachment to the moonlight. In the third verse, the singer talks about their home no longer being a sanctuary but instead a place where furniture is piled up before they leave. This could imply that they are running from something or someone, and the moonlight is their only comfort.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is going through a difficult period and is using the moonlight as a source of comfort. The moonlight becomes a symbol of hope and light in the darkness of the night. The metaphor of the moonlight reflects the singer's longing for something pure and unattainable. The song's minimalist sound and melancholic melody add to the overall somber mood, leaving listeners feeling the weight of the singer's emotions.

Ay ışığına vuruldum ben
I fell in love with the moonlight
Çok uzaklarda olsa da
Even if it's far away
Sonumuzu bile bile seviştim ben
I made love, knowing the end
Artık gece hiç olmasa da
Even if the night never comes
Başka dünyaya yansa da
Even if it shines on another world
Çok zor geçen günün ardından uyurken ben
While I sleep after a hard day
Odam hep ışıksız kalmışsa da
Even if my room remains dark
Bu ev artık yuva değil
This house is no longer a home
Bütün eşyalar üstüste
All the stuff piled up
Terketmeden önce...
Before leaving...
