When the
Music Paused
We are Caroline and Peter, and SunKiss began during a rare moment when life slowed down. Our work with Riviera Organisation has always been about bringing people together through events, and when everything paused for a while back in 2020, we suddenly had time to explore ideas we had carried with us for years.​​
Peter has always been immersed in music, and Caroline has always enjoyed sharing ideas that lift the day. With a little more space than usual, we began wondering how we might bring these interests together in a fresh way.
We set up a small studio at home and created a simple radio stream. No ads. No algorithms. Just hand picked music, friendly voices and features that offered a gentle sense of company. Before long, messages started arriving from listeners in different countries, telling us how much the station meant to them. Those early voices encouraged us to keep going.
"Loving the music. Listening in from a very rainy Northern Ireland, rain beating against the window but your music is transporting me to lovely France."

Reimagining Radio
What started as an experiment soon found its rhythm. Today, SunKiss reaches listeners in more than 170 countries and offers three distinct stations, each shaped with its own character. Our presenters join from different parts of the world through our cloud based system, which has allowed us to rethink what a radio studio can be.
​
We also use AI assisted voices in a careful and thoughtful way. This helps us offer more content and presence than we could achieve alone while keeping the human touch at the centre of everything. The aim is always the same. Love Music Love Life.
Where Two Worlds Meet
Riviera Organisation is thriving again, and the two projects complement each other naturally. One brings people together in person. The other offers a lift to people wherever they are. Both come from the same place, which is caring about how people feel.
Still Dancing
We learned something valuable when life went quiet. Creativity does not need perfect circumstances. SunKiss grew from that understanding, and it continues to evolve with the people who listen to it.
Wherever you are and whatever your day looks like, we are glad that SunKiss can be part of it.

From our home to yours,
Caroline and Peter
