Jackson Jackson are an Australian hip hop duo from Melbourne consisting of Harry James Angus (vocals/trumpet; The Cat Empire, The Conglomerate) and Jan Skubiszewski (producer, phrase, and composer; APRA Award winner Two Hands, The Rage in Placid Lake, Last Man Standing).[1][2] For live performances, they are joined by keyboards, bass, drums and backup vocalists.
Jackson Jackson's first album, The Fire Is on the Bird, was released on 24 March 2007. They describe their music as a fusion of hip hop, afrobeat and psychobilly.[3]
