Born in Nashville, Built for Collectors
James "Jimmy" Carter
Founder & Chief Collector, Vinyl Vault
Meet the Founder
Jimmy grew up surrounded by music in Nashville — the kind of city where vinyl records aren't just a format, they're a love language. After spending fifteen years collecting, selling, and trading records at local flea markets and shows, he realized Nashville's passionate vinyl community deserved a dedicated, trustworthy platform.
He founded Vinyl Vault in 2021 with a simple mission: make it easy, honest, and exciting to buy and sell vinyl in Nashville. Every decision at Vinyl Vault is made with the collector's experience in mind — from the free listing model to the rigorous authentication service.
Jimmy still personally oversees every authentication and believes that the best marketplace is one where buyers and sellers both walk away feeling great about the deal.
