Incorporating back in 1975, The Soron Group, Inc. was a music management firm with a recording studio in New Jersey, where the likes of Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes, Bill Haley’s Comets, Frankie Smith and Andrea McArdle (“Annie”) recorded tracks.

Our reach goes as far as Australia, Japan, Germany, England, Canada, the U.S. of course, and south of the border with a great latino sound. Recently we have created a new division for children’s music, and comedy.
The Soron Group, Inc. also develops new talent and works with film and television production, supplying talent and musical composition. We offer recording, mastering, and duplication services, as well as marketing, graphic design, and web design for all creative ventures.
BILL HOLLAND, PARTNER
 |
The godfather of The Soron Group (or gramps as he is liked to be called) has been involved in the sound industry for over 50 years. After leaving the Air Force working in electronics, Bill started his own company where he developed early computer and radar technologies for the Navy and Coast Guard. At night, he worked as a country musician and radio DJ. He then built and operated Quad Recording Studios outside of Philadelphia, opened a consortium of corporations supplying radar and electronics to the boating industry, AND designed accounting systems until deciding to move back to his hometown in Missouri.
His hobbies include flying helicopters and getting married (four times). He still writes country music lyrics in between wives. A true Renaissance man and good ole’ boy. |

BOB SWORASKI, PARTNER
|
Bob is head of Creative Development and Production for all musical projects. He is working with a variety of artists to develop all genres of music from records to film and television scoring.
Bob started playing keyboards at the age of eight. Not satisfied with just playing music, he started to compose and perform original music from an early age. Although he was schooled in everything from classical to pop with traditional instruments, he embraced the “electronic” music age. From the first affordable synthesizer to the current “state of the art” sampling and music production programs, he continues to use these tools to create his own compositions and to work with other musicians to record, produce and arrange in the Philadelphia and New York area.
He is also working on a solo Progressive Jazz project as well as playing on two Jazz Fusion projects with musicians from across the country.
