Their debut single "Mili brat" was released in April 2017.[1] Prior to the release of the song BluVinil was officially signed by the record label Dallas Records.[2] Throughout 2018 and 2019 the band released four more singles, "Julija", "Helena", "Moderna" and "Sigurna u nas", respectively.[3] The band's debut studio album Apaši was released on 3 October 2020.[4] The album's lead single of the same name became their first song to chart on the Croatian HR Top 40 chart.[5] On 23 December 2020, BluVinil received nominations in the categories Best New Artist and Song of the Year for the third edition of the Rock&Off Awards.[6] In May 2021, it was announced that the band had left Dallas Records and signed a contract with the record label LAA.[7] In 2021, two singles, "Heroji" and "U predgrađu", from the band's second studio album Zna li itko tajnu srca? were released.[8][9] On 25 May 2022, the album's third single "Zasjeda" was released.[10] Zna li itko tajnu srca? was ultimately released on 11 November 2023 on various formats through LAA.[11] The album release was accompanied by the release of its fourth single "Boris B".[12] BluVinil embarked on a little promo concert tour throughout Croatia in December 2022 to further promote the album.[13] Based on the album's performance the band earned a nomination at the fifth annual Rock&Off Awards in the category "Best Pop Artist".[14]
