Van Nortwick stated that he has been putting a lot of effort into Vinylly, the dating platform that promotes music compatibility and inclusivity. He went on to say that they are making waves in the industry.

On Vinylly, people can make and view playlists together, with over 21,000 playlists viewed in 2022. Additionally, folks on the platform can associate their Spotify accounts and chat with other users using music-related conversation starters.

The founder declared that Vinylly has made its profile generator available, allowing people to create a profile quickly. They can also sync their Spotify. Moreover, supporting Vinylly’s mission is science, as linking through music boosts dopamine and oxytocin and minimises cortisol.

In a blog post by Vinylly, Dr Daniel Levitin, a cognitive psychologist, discussed the scientific basis for musical compatibility. He remarked that “the act of listening to music alters brain chemistry” and that “people utilise music in the same way they do drugs.”

The post continued by noting that Vinylly’s algorithm facilitates interaction between people with shared musical interests, allowing them to find common ground while expanding their musical repertoires.
