CEO/President, The Holloway Entertainment Group and Smooth Groove Radio "The Vibe"

Ron Holloway is a dedicated Music Director, Jazz Historian, Navy Veteran, and Entrepreneur, and the visionary force behind The Holloway Entertainment Group and Smooth Groove Radio "The Vibe." His lifelong passion for jazz began in 1969, leading him to become an avid collector and connoisseur of the smooth jazz and C-jazz (Contemporary) genre.

Hailing from Washington, D.C., Ron's journey was shaped by his time at Howard University during the launch of WHUR, where he gained invaluable, firsthand knowledge of music structure and programming. He was present for the creation of the iconic "Quiet Storm" late-night format by the legendary Melvin Lindsey, an experience that honed his understanding of radio's power.

Fueled by a lifelong dream, Ron launched Smooth Groove Radio "The Vibe" in 2013, recognizing and filling a significant void in local terrestrial radio. As the CEO and President, he has cultivated a global destination for smooth jazz, R&B, and soul, meticulously curating "the Best, and the Finest" in soulful programming. The station, a true labor of love, has flourished for over a decade under his expert guidance, championing diverse talent from jazz legends to soulful vocalists.

"We will continue to bring the finest selection of soulful music and create an atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of this genre," says Holloway.

Under Ron's leadership, The Holloway Entertainment Group and its flagship station, Smooth Groove Radio "The Vibe," are not just entities—they are a movement in the music industry.
