Women in Vinyl

I’d been following Diana on Instagram for awhile.  She’s not only busy working a full time job, but she also creates stunning coffee paintings, curates a YouTube channel ‘diggininthecr8‘ where she talks about records, and blogs for Vinyl of the Day. I thought she’d be a great addition to the Women in Vinyl blog because we all…

Meet Grace Krause, a project representative at Cascade Record Pressing right outside Portland, OR.  I’ve known about Cascade for some time (it is after all in one of my favorite cities) so when Grace and I connected I was happy to have her as part of the site.  Her and I also do similar things in…

I was introduced to Katy through work, and I’m so glad I was.  She is definitely a like mind and in hearing about what she enjoys outside of work I’d love the chance to spend some time talking more in depth about her interests outside of work as much as what she does day to…

I’m happy to introduce to you Brenna and Calvert of Luna Record Shop.  I lived in Nashville briefly and there are a lot of great shops there, but one day I was heading out to Franklin, TN and ended up at an artsy indoor space called ‘The Factory’ for some coffee.  While roaming around I…

Megan Louise Doyle was introduced to me by a coworker but I’d noticed her eye catching vinyl photos before then on the Italians Do It Better (IDIB) Instagram.  Also, being Italian I very much appreciate a label with a name like that. Megan Louise is president of the music label IDIB & band member of Desire. …

Sarah is a lead press operator at Gotta Groove Records, a vinyl manufacturing plant in Cleveland, Ohio. Her job is to oversee production by helping a crew run and maintain each of their 7″ presses, handling the influx of various parts for each job, and delegating tasks in order to get as much done as…

I met Amanda through her brother who I’ve worked with in a couple of different educational settings.  He kept telling me, you’ve got to meet my sister, and he wasn’t kidding. Amanda and I were vinyl sisters the moment we started talking and there are few people as sweet as she is. Amanda is a…

I decided to kick off this blog by interviewing Kate of Koeppel Design.  She was sort of the nudge I needed in getting this started after we connected over a ridiculous 1950’s meme suggesting women don’t care about the nerdier side of vinyl collecting.  Her dividers are not only timeless and perfectly crafted, but as…

My name is Jenn but more about what I do later. I’m starting this blog as a way to empower and highlight the women that are working in the vinyl / music industry to create, preserve, improve and enhance the art of music on vinyl. Not enough of the female + vinyl focus is on…
