Gordon Mac, innovative and successful entrepreneur and Founder of Kiss FM, announces
his departure from Colourful Radio to launch a new venture, Mi-Soul, which will provide
access to everything related to Soul music on every broadcast platform which is scheduled
to go live by the end of this year.

Following two years of research, Gordon, working with his business partner Martin Strivens
(ex Commercial Director of Kiss FM), and a team that includes Deanna Hallett, Sháá
Wasmund, Roy Marsh, Chris Phillips and Jon Mansfield, is developing a Soul and Dance
community that will provide ‘Everything Soul Everywhere’.

Commenting on his new venture, Gordon said: “I have not been so excited about the
opportunity to create a multi platform Soul brand dedicated to Soul and Dance fans
everywhere, since the deregulation of broadcast media in the late 1980s which gave birth to
Kiss FM”.

Since leaving Kiss in 1998, Gordon has maintained his passion for music and, while running
his successful Bar and Restaurant he kept his ‘toe in the water’ with a weekly show on
Choice before taking the reins at Colourful Radio as Station Manager to help establish the
brand over the last three years.

Having identified this gap in the market, it will be Gordon’s legendary tenacity, guts and
drive, together with the ability to create a successful product from scratch, that will ensure
the success of the new venture.

Gordon Mac, also known as the ‘Godfather of Dance Music', was both the first
person to launch a pirate radio station which subsequently became legal, and the
youngest Managing Director of a radio station company (29). His lasting legacy is
the creation the Kiss FM brand.

During the 13 years that he ran the business, Gordon also masterminded the
establishment of the Kiss network, franchising Kiss 102 in Manchester and Kiss 105
in Yorkshire. The London station achieved the target of 1million listeners a week, by
the end of its second year, and when sold in 2006 was valued at £46m.
