James Iovine (/ˈaɪ.əviːn/ EYE-ə-veen; born March 11, 1953^[1]) is an American entrepreneur, former record executive, and media proprietor. He is best known as the co-founder of Interscope Records.^[2] He became chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M, an umbrella music unit formed by Universal Music Group in 1999.

Iovine has been involved in the production of more than 250 albums.^[1]^[3]^[4]

In 2006, Iovine and close friend, hip hop musician Dr. Dre, co-founded Beats Electronics. Two years later, the brand launched its first official set of headphones.^[5] In late 2013, they began development for, and in 2014, launched Beats Music, which went on to become the framework for Apple Music.^[6] The company was purchased by Apple Inc. for $3 billion in May 2014.^[7] 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.^[8]

On August 21, 2018, after initial denial, Iovine parted ways with Apple and effectively retired from the media business.^[9] Despite his retirement, he is still credited or named in institutional education centers such as the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy, which inaugurated in 2013,^[10] and the Iovine and Young Center, a magnet high school which opened in Los Angeles in August 2022.^[11]^[12]^[13]
