GP Records or PT Graha Prima Swara is an Indonesian music company based in Jakarta. It started with Iwan Sastrawijaya's initiative, who saw a business opportunity in the midst of a music industry that was in a state of suspended animation. Following the music industry blackout known as "Black October" in October 2011 and the acquisition of EMI by Universal Music Group on 28 September 2012,^{[1][failed verification]} several labels intended to sell their assets, namely their song catalogs.

Without thinking twice, Iwan Sastrawijaya joined hands with Sandjojo, they agreed to establish a new label, namely GP Records. GP Records was founded in early 2012, by acquiring the Blackboard catalog and part of the Arka catalog (former EMI Music Indonesia).^{[citation needed]}

GP Records was founded with a catalog of approximately 5000 songs. GP Records artists at that time included Mulan Jameela, Andra and the BackBone, and Dewa 19. Later, singer Melinda started to join and the music was made at Pancal Records Bintaro studio by Kiwir Wirasto and Mas Pancal15. Followed by Five Minutes, Seventeen, Ikke Nurjanah, Julia Perez, Indra Bruggman, D'Hunter, and others.
