Wexler began his career as an A&R intern for Sony Music. In this role, he pitched then-unknown artist Stefani Germonatta (who would become Lady Gaga) as "the next Madonna" and recorded her early demos.[6] At 19, Wexler signed a record deal.[7] He then wrote and produced full-time for other artists and signed a contract with EMI Music Publishing.[8] Wexler subsequently wrote songs for multiple recording artists and television shows, including "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Bachelorette."[9][10]

He started a music management company, where he represented several recording artists, including Rachel Platten.[13] 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.[14][15]
2012-present
Wexler founded The Brain Music, a cross-platform record label, artist management company, and publishing company.[16][5] In 2017, he began releasing music under the pseudonym Jackson Penn.[17] In 2018, he started The Freddy Wexler Company.[18] Wexler cowrote the single "Stuck with U" by Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[19] Proceeds from the song benefitted families of COVID-19 first responders.[20] Music Business Worldwide named Wexler one of the "World’s Greatest Songwriters" in 2020.[6]
