For the Seventh Year, Iron Mountain Entertainment Services Continues to Support P&E Wing Initiatives and Advocacy


Santa Monica, Calif. (December 14, 2017) The Recording Academy™ Producers & Engineers Wing® has renewed its partnership with Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM) Entertainment Services. As an official P&E Wing partner, Iron Mountain provides title sponsorship of regional Recording Academy Chapter professional development events and serves as a sustaining member of the P&E Wing Manufacturer's Council, a diverse array of audio-related companies that function as a creative think-tank to address industry issues, including technical best practices, new technology development, preservation of recording assets and creative rights.

Notably, Iron Mountain is serving as premier sponsor for the upcoming P&E Wing GRAMMY Week celebration on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018, honoring GRAMMY® Award winners Alicia Keys and Kasseem Dean, aka Swizz Beatz, at Rockefeller Center's iconic Rainbow Room in New York City. The prestigious, invite-only event will celebrate the artistic contributions of the Producers & Engineers Wing's professional members and will highlight the unparalleled accomplishments of Keys and Dean. The event, now in its 11th year, is highly-regarded among producers and engineers as well as industry titans.

"We are very pleased that Iron Mountain will continue to work closely with the P&E Wing in 2018 and beyond," stated Maureen Droney, Recording Academy Managing Director, Producers & Engineers Wing. "Iron Mountain is the leader in music archiving, preservation and restoration, which are important P&E Wing initiatives.
