BiographyJames Iovine ( EYE-ə-veen; born March 11, 1953) is an American entrepreneur, former record executive, and media proprietor. He co-founded Interscope Records in 1990, and served as chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M, an umbrella music unit formed by Universal Music Group, from 1999 to 2014.

Iovine has been involved in the production of at least 250 albums. In 2006, Iovine and Interscope signee Dr. Dre co-founded Beats Electronics. Two years later, the brand launched its first set of headphones. In late 2013, they began development for Beats Music, and released it in 2014, which went on to become the framework for Apple Music. The company was purchased by Apple Inc. for $3 billion in May 2014. At the same time, Iovine vacated his positions as chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, ending his twenty-five year relationship with his label.

On August 21, 2018, after initial denial, Iovine parted ways with Apple and effectively retired from the media business. He is credited or named in institutional education centers such as the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy, which was inaugurated in 2013, and the Iovine and Young Center, a magnet high school which opened in Los Angeles in August 2022.
