The Fonder:
Daniel Salani
Daniel Salani is a senior at the University of Tennessee Knoxville where he is receiving a degree in business management with a collateral in entrepreneurship. Daniel grew up listening to classic rock with his parents but always loved listening to many different kinds of music. As he got older, he grew to appreciate the experience and sound of vinyl albums compared to digital tracks. Daniel realized a number of people were inheriting, buying, and listening to vinyl albums in their free time rather than digitally recorded music. This gave Daniel the idea to start Vinny's Vintage VHS and Vinyl, named after his uncle Vinny who exposed him to vintage media such as VHS and Vinyl. Vinny's Vintage wouldn't just be a place to buy vinyl albums or vintage media; it would be a place of community to meet others and bond over classic works of media.
