Rising to prominence in the 1990s with the dance Music Group, Sub Sub, Jimi and his Bandmates, brothers Andy and Jez Williams achieved major chart success before the three made a radical shift in sound to become the Band Doves, with Jimi taking on the role of lead singer, bassist and Co Songwriter. The trio gained plaudits as one of Britain’s most acclaimed acts with Mercury Prize-nominated albums, multiple UK Top 5 records in the singles and album charts and Three UK No.1 albums.

Renowned for his distinctive voice, Doves evocative songwriting and atmospheric soundscapes, Goodwin has collaborated and shared creative links with leading figures from the Manchester music scene and beyond. Alongside his collaborations, Jimi has continued to evolve artistically through his ongoing experimental hip hop project under the ‘Nom de plume’ - NightjaR.
