Manifesto

WhyVYNL

Because access should mean something.

Streaming changed how music is consumed.

Streaming made music easy to access.

It also made it easy to ignore.

Plays went up. Artist pay went down.

Convenience came at a cost.

When everything is always available, nothing feels intentional.

Music became background.

Support became invisible.

VYNL

VYNL is built around access, not attention.

On VYNL, music is released as drops.

Fans unlock access.

Artists get paid directly.

No feeds. No ads. No endless scrolling.

For fans

VYNL is for people who want to support artists directly.

Not through subscriptions.

Not through fractions of a cent.

But through access that feels personal.

  • Unlock drops you care about
  • Keep access in your vault
  • Support artists on your terms

For artists

VYNL is built for artists who want control.

Control over releases.

Control over access.

Control over their audience.

  • Set your own access rules
  • Get paid directly
  • Know who supports you

Why we don't stream.

Streaming optimizes for volume.

VYNL optimizes for value.

We chose focus over scale.

Not everything needs to be always on.

Access should feel intentional.

VYNL exists for moments that matter.

For artists who want to be supported.

For fans who want to support them.
