Boompa Records (launched in September 2003) was established as a music production company by Rob Calder and Scott L.D.

The label's creation was marked with the release of The Salteens' album Let Go of Your Bad Days in the Spring of 2003.

Beginning in Summer 2003, Boompa began their expansion into publicity services, music placement and licensing and artist management.

Boompa received positive acclaim in its first year, where it was credited with releasing "consistently excellent" music.
