Early on, Jimmy was a recording engineer for the likes of John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen before becoming a recording producer for Patti Smith, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stevie Nicks, Dire Straits, The Pretenders, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, and U2.Jimmy co-founded Interscope Records in 1990 with Ted Field and others, launching rap, pop, and rock artists such as future business partner Andre “Dr. Dre” Young, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, The Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, and Lady Gaga into international stardom. At Interscope Records, Jimmy put artists and their ideas first and empowered those artists to take their careers into their own hands.In 2006, Jimmy and hip-hop producer and trailblazer Dr. Dre co-founded Beats by Dre, a leading, high-performance headphone, earbud, and speaker company. Thanks to the stylish and sleekly designed headphones, and its expansion into smartphones and car audio systems, Beats by Dre secured the No. 1 spot in the billion-dollar-plus premium headphones industry.

Students learn skills centered around entrepreneurship, technology, and design, which are critical to the 21st-century collegiate landscape and workforce. The first IYC opened its doors in Los Angeles in 2022. Another location — at Frederick Douglass High School in Atlanta — opened in August 2024.
