Oasis Disc Manufacturing is a CD and DVD manufacturing companies specializing in serving independent musicians, film makers, and other content providers, including John Legend, John Mayer, the late Babatunde Olatunji, Richard Thompson, Ingrid Michaelson, and others. It has offices in Washington D.C. and Manhattan. Oasis and its President Micah Solomon have been subjects of business case studies, such as those in Seth Godin's bestseller Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable ((and in the Seth Godin ebook Micah's Site), in Success Magazine, and elsewhere which focus on Oasis's methodologies in customer service, customer preference tracking, and provision of promotional services for customers. Formerly known as Oasis CD Manufacturing, it was incorporated in 1991 and first rose to prominence in 1995 when President and Founder Micah Solomon (a musician and alumnus of Berklee College of Music and Brown University) created the OasisSampler series of radio broadcast samplers to promote the music of its clients nationwide. Oasis Disc Manufacturing introduced multiple environmental packages not available elsewhere, including the BottleTray Digipak (made from post-consumer water bottles), the Potato Tray™ Digipak (made from compostable potato starch), The Rough Look wallet made from 100% post-consumer Kraft board, and related products. Oasis Disc Manufacturing and Micah Solomon collaborated with CD Baby President Derek Sivers starting around 1999 in the expansion of CD Baby when Sivers partnered with Oasis to distribute the complete Oasis artist roster at the CD Baby store (an arrangement still valid currently). Oasis later rolled its own partnership with Apple's iTunes Music Store into the CD Baby Digital Distribution program as well, ensuring a direct conduit for its clients and a broad source of artists for CD Baby as well. Oasis has been involved in charitable campaigns initiated by its musical clients, including World Hunger Year created by the late Harry Chapin and continued by Oasis client Jen Chapin, and the "Wash Your Hands" anti-H1N1 campaign of client Bill Harley. Its President and Founder Micah Solomon has been one of the recipients of WAMA's (Washington Area Music Association)'s Executive of the Year award.
