Micah Solomon has both created and discovered an oasis. •
Originally the oasis was Mr. Solomon’s business, begun in 1987 in College Park. Md. because he needed a company to do what wasn’t being done.
As a musician, composer and recording engineer, he had been disappointed by the quality of his work when it came back to him from the duplication process.
The package didn’t look good, the sound wasn’t as good as the master he had sent and it was all more annoying than it should have been.
He knew he could do better. so he did.
Mr. Solomon named his new business Oasis.
His would be a duplication company which would be “an oasis in a big, confusing and impersonal business.”
His business would focus on helping the client/musician move through each stage of the duplication process including getting the product into the market.
From his recording studio in Maryland and a staff of one (himself) he produced records and cassettes and a reputation for quality and innovation.
Oasis expanded with the industry to CDs and CDROMs, adjusting its name to Oasis CD Manufacturing.
He now' employs a fulltime staff of 28. Along the way. he gained a partner, his wife Vandy.
During the growing days of the business in Maryland and their courtship, the couple did little but wrork.
By 1995 marriage was feeling like the right thing to do.
