There are three artists who share this name.
1)
Jet Jaguar a.k.a. Percy Carey, also known as MF Grimm, GM Grimm, The Grimm Reaper, Superstar Jet Jaguar, and originally Build and Destroy. He is an underground rapper from New York City whose collaborations include Monster Island Czars and MF DOOM, as well as an award winning Comic Book and Graphic Novel writer.
2)
Formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2001, Jet Jaguar is Charles Van de Kree, Trisha St. James, and Joey Mach. Named after a robot in a Godzilla movie, the group combines the high energy of punk and the heavy riffing of metal with the robotic, technology-laden sound of industrial and the drifting dreamscapes of ambient. Obsessed with visions of science-fiction apocalypse, the group’s songs are terminally preoccupied with aeronautics, interstellar exploration, robotics, cloning, androidology, virtual reality, biomolecular mutation and nuclear genocide. Thus far, the group has released four full-length albums and two EPs. The group’s next project, a collaboration with the Guild Navigators, will be released in the summer of 2008 by Overlord Records.
3)
Jet Jaguar is Michael Upton. Born and raised in Wellington, New Zealand, Michael has been making music since 1991, when he was inspired by a friend’s Mum’s MIDI set-up.
Inspired by 70’s dub producers and hip-hop he sees no point in emulating them, instead borrowing aspects of the dubspace programme to pan, echo and stretch space and time.
