With roots in Brooklyn, New York, his musical influences span the globe. GoodWill’s parents were born and raised on the Caribbean island of Barbados before migrating to Brooklyn. He grew up listening to diverse tropical sounds mixed with the complex bass heavy rhythms of the newly forming cultural phenomenon, Hip Hop. Enthralled with both and influenced by R&B and urban dance music, GoodWill immersed himself in music, art and the culture that accompanied them. All of these influences inspired his unique ability to blend various genres cohesively, forming a worldly, universally accessible but eclectic sound. GoodWill has run, hosted and DJd a radio show out of DUMBO NYC, traveled around the world and spun with some of the best DJs in the business like Rich Medina, Tony Touch and Funk Master Flex.
Like a musical tailor I stitch songs together to move people physically and emotionally. I paint with sound on canvases of ears and hearts. Check out these select mixes and share them if you feel them.

Life is filled with work. We spend 80% of our waking hours either working or preparing for it. This creates stress and anxiety that affects our natural rhythms. It also creates social rifts that affect our ability to connect with others. Parties and celebrations help us to release those negative feelings allowing us to reset our centers and also reconnect with people in healthy, meaningful ways. Music plays a critical role in this process. Party with me to help take the edge off.
Special events like weddings, showers, birthdays, retirement, product launches, and store openings don’t come around very often. In life’s timeline they are the colorful exciting bursts of intense activity. Once they have passed, they only live on as memories. Every aspect of these events should memorable and amazing, especially the music.
