Jimi Charles Moody is the alias of Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule, one-half of the Brighton hip-hop duo
Rizzle Kicks. With
Jimi Charles Moody, Alexander-Sule concentrates on old-school soul and
Hendrixian hard rock, thereby proving his pseudonym was well chosen. When he released his first singles, "Other Man" and "The Woman," in 2015,
Jimi Charles Moody was shrouded in mystery. There would be press interviews where his identity was protected, and this continued through the 2015 release of the
Islington EP. Following the 2015 release of "House of Moody," Harley Alexander-Sule quietly revealed himself as the brains behind
Jimi Charles Moody, stating that it was easier to be emotional in a persona. Another single, "Turns to Gold," appeared in 2016, with "Only You" and "Shame" following in 2017. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
