Wexler's organization, The Brain Music, has joint ventures with Disney, Scooter Braun Projects, Warner Chappell, and Prescription (Rx) Songs.[2]
Wexler began his career as an A&R intern for Sony Music. At 19, Wexler signed a record deal.[3] He then wrote and produced full-time for other artists and signed a contract with EMI Music Publishing.[4] Wexler subsequently wrote songs for multiple recording artists and television shows, including "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Bachelorette."[5][6]
While Wexler was attending college, celebrity morning show host Kidd Kraddick called him on the air and invited him to participate in a weeklong tour concluding with a performance on Kraddick's show.[7][8]
He started a music management company, where he represented several recording artists, including Rachel Platten.[9] The following year, Wexler built The Brain House, an "experimental songwriting collective" in the Hollywood Hills, where he invited a group of writers, musicians, and artists to live and work together.[10][11]
Wexler founded The Brain Music, a cross-platform record label, artist management company, and publishing company.[12][13] In 2017, he began releasing music under the pseudonym Jackson Penn.[14] In 2018, he started The Freddy Wexler Company.[15] Wexler cowrote the single "Stuck with U" by Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[16] Proceeds from the song benefitted families of COVID-19 first responders.[17] Music Business Worldwide named Wexler one of the "World’s Greatest Songwriters" in 2020.[18]
His songs have been recorded by artists including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Kanye West, Billy Joel, the Jonas Brothers,[19] Demi Lovato, Pink, Post Malone, Celine Dion, Halsey, Zayn Malik, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Avicii, DNCE, Pusha T, Bea Miller, and Wyclef Jean.[20]
