Mint Records is a Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based independent record label founded in January 1991, by friends and campus radio enthusiasts Randy Iwata and Bill Baker.
Randy Iwata and Bill Baker started working together at CITR-FM, the University of British Columbia radio station. Three years after graduation, they decided it was time to move on from the station. However, they wanted to stay connected to new music, so they founded a record label to release the best up-and-coming music of the city. They have been known to sign artists during drinking sessions.
