One theory explaining the recent comeback in record collecting is that its a backlash against the digitization of music. There’s a new company that is challenging this theory by integrating old school vinyl collections with a hot new digital collectible - NFTs. Vinylkey believes that by merging record collecting with NFTs, they can unlock new opportunities for artists to engage and delight their fans.


Taking us on a tour of Vinylkey are Gar Ragland and Sean Moore. Gar is a producer, musician, and entrepreneur - and the founder and CEO of Citizen Vinyl, a vinyl pressing plant, bar/Café, recording studio and store all on the same site. Sean is an entrepreneur and software engineer with over 30 years of experience who fell into the crypto rabbit hole in 2013 and pulled himself out long enough to rediscover vinyl. We reached them at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville, NC.
