Our Story

It’s not unusual to be a little curious in what it takes to be more amazing than usual.

In 2013, two like-minded friends who embraced the same passion for music, step out onto the world stage and strum away the acceptance level in which mediocrity floods the bandwidth of an entire local industry.

They ride the waves across a multitude of frequencies just to arrive at an outstanding decibel, which brings to birth an extraordinary concept in the form of a unique space. Where young, talented singers, musician, composers, sound engineers and music producers gather to experiment, create and produce fresh, innovative sounds.

The vision is to gain a steady flow of exciting Malaysian artistes and propagate the variety of media platforms and mega concert events with their performances. Paired with the amplitude of consistency in blending together ideas that transcend the norm.

GT Records is the embodiment of collaboration, creativity and ingenuity. With the combined experience of over 50 years between the founders, GT Records has synthesised a remarkable reputation for high quality sounds and creative music compositions.

Today, GTR ventures into yet another year across the sound landscape – with technological sound experiments and services. Ranging from Spatial Sounds, Atmos and 3D sounds.

Things are always the best when they’re kept short and sweet.

Trampling on production and animation companies, to advertising and digital agencies. Learning and picking up new things along the way, while having a soft spot for sharks. Believing that these sea predators are one of the most majestic, but greatly misunderstood, animals in the world (#SaveTheSharks). And she loves anything that’s food related. Bring her something to munch on and she’ll love you till eating is done.
