Jonny Jakobsen (born 17 November 1963) is a Swedish former Bubblegum dance/eurodance singer better known under his fictitious identity as Indian taxi driver Dr. Bombay. He began as a country singer called Johnny Moonshine, but became famous only after developing the persona of Dr. Bombay. His debut was in 1998 with the album Rice and Curry, hitting the charts with the title track, as well as Calcutta and SOS (The Tiger Took My Family). Subsequently, he went on to record albums as faux-Scottish Dr. MacDoo and faux-Mexican Carlito.

He has gained some fame and notoriety in the Europop scene. Two of his songs have appeared in the Beatmania IIDX series of video games,[1] one of them appeared in Samba de Amigo[2] and another one in Pump It Up PRO 2.

Before "Dr. Bombay"

Jonny Jakobsen was born in Sweden on 17 November 1963 to Danish father Ejner Jakobsen and a Swedish mother who died in 1992/3. His twin sister Susanne and him are the youngest of five children. He has two older sisters Vinni and Lis and an older brother Niels. He has a son Jimmy Jakobsen born in 1983/4.

He began his career as a faux-country/pop singer called Johnny Moonshine. As Johnny Moonshine, Jakobsen released one album titled "Johnny Moonshine & The Troubled Water Band" (1995).[3]

Due to the failure of Johnny Moonshine, Jakobsen moved on in search of a newer, more 'annoying' sound.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} He chose the style of eurodance, which was just becoming popular in the late 1990s, and began his career as the fake Indian "Dr. Bombay".[3]{{dead link|date=March 2013}} Jakobsen teamed up with Robert Uhlmann, who is famous for his work with Smile.dk

Dr. Bombay

Jakobsen's earliest career success was prompted by the introduction of the Dr. Bombay character in 1998. In his lyrics, the character is portrayed as an Indian taxi driver, mystic, sitar player, chef, snake charmer and avid fan of elephant racing. He appears clad in traditional Indian garb, such as a kurta and pagri, with the addition of dark glasses that are also worn by the other characters portrayed by Jakobsen.
