Jonny Jakobsen (born 17 November 1963, Malmö, Sweden) is a Swedish eurodance artist 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 his metamorphosis into Dr. Bombay. His debut was in 1998 with the album Rice and Curry, hitting the charts with the title track, as well as Calcutta (Taxi Taxi Taxi) and SOS (The Tiger Took My Family). [1] Subsequently, he went on to record albums as faux-Scottish Dr. MacDoo and faux-Mexican Carlito.

While some consider the music released by Dr. Bombay as offensively stereotypical[citation needed], so much that at one time Indian authorities were thinking of suing him[citation needed], 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, and one of them appeared in Samba de Amigo.
