Goodwill is the solo project of award-nominated producer and songwriter Will McGillivray. Leaning into a love of dissonant guitars, droning analog synths, grainy lo-fi and longing melody, Goodwill’s music is thoughtful and honest. He has worked with esteemed Aotearoa artists such as There’s a Tuesday and Mousey, meanwhile using Goodwill as the vehicle for his own creative output.

Following the release of debut EP Incontrol featuring singles Get Angry, Getting Better and Clinging Onto You, Goodwill’s sound earned him an instant nomination for 'Best New Artist' at the Rolling Stone NZ Awards, multiple Top 3 chart placements on the Hot NZ Singles chart, countless top spots on over 17 significant international Spotify editorial playlists, over 700,000 streams, extensive radio play in New Zealand and Australia, and an article in the August AU + NZ Rolling Stone Issue.

Inspired by artists like Alex G and Bon Iver, Goodwill’s debut record Kind Hands is an indie/alternative full-length LP with songs from the last 2 years of writing since the completion of Goodwill’s self-produced 2022 EP Incontrol. Touching on themes of gratitude, luck and commitment, Goodwill shakes off the angst and dissonance from Incontrol to bring the light at the end of the tunnel to the forefront of the writing.
