• Citizen Vinyl opened in October 2020 with just one record press and the mission to provide high quality vinyl albums for record labels and independent artists. To be at the heart of community is not only in our mission, it’s in our name: Citizen means much more to us than our namesake building. It’s an expression of commitment to the city we love and call home, and the musicians and labels whose projects that we are entrusted to both record and press to vinyl.

    The Citizen Times building in downtown Asheville, North Carolina has been a long standing monument to both the communication and archiving of our region's events. Through the highs and lows of the years, it has always stood strong as an icon of quality and honest story-telling. In 2019, Citizen Vinyl claimed the dramatic first floor and its decorative mezzanines as the future home of a vinyl record pressing plant, as well as the third floor’s historic WWNC radio station studio, restored into Citizen Studios — a beautiful, modern analog recording studio and media lab.
