2005-2008: Career Beginnings
Wexler got his start as an A&R intern for Sony Music where he pitched an unknown artist, Stefani Germonatta, as “the next Madonna.” Germonatta, whose early demos Wexler recorded, went on to become Lady Gaga. Soon after, Wexler landed his own record deal with Virgin Records where he enjoyed a brief stint as an artist himself, sharing stages with bands like Maroon 5, Good Charlotte, and Simple Plan. From there, he wrote and produced full-time for other artists and inked a contract with EMI Music Publishing. Wexler's first commercial success was as a producer on a single for singer Marion Raven (of Norwegian pop duo M2M) which he coproduced with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. He went on to write songs for a host of recording artists and also wrote the promo-theme songs for the hit TV-shows "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Bachelorette.”
2008-2009: Kidd Kraddick in the Morning
While attending college, Wexler received an ON-AIR phone call from celebrity morning show host Kidd Kraddick (whose show boasts the largest drive-time audience in America). Kraddick proposed a challenge—to drive from Philadelphia to Texas, playing shows along the way. Wexler accepted and embarked on what stations across the country promoted as the “Freddy Needs Gas Tour.” He received nearly $10,000 of fan donations in just four days, which he donated to Kraddick's charity: Kidd's Kids. The positive response to Wexler's music lead to his move to Dallas, where he became a cohost on "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning," the then-largest syndicated music morning show in America. Based out of Texas, and stretching across 75 cities across the country, Wexler became a poster-child for independent pop music, performing on major television morning shows and sharing the stage with acts like Maroon 5, Good Charlotte, Paramore, Katy Perry, Forever the Sickest Kids, The New Temptations, Gym Class Heroes, Simple Plan, Ryan Cabrera, and Colbie Caillat. On July 4, Wexler headlined a show in Frisco TX and sold over 22,000 tickets.
2009-2010: The Brain House
In 2010, Wexler returned to Philadelphia and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania. He started a music management company, where he represented several recording artists including Rachel Platten (singer of the Top 10 hit "Fight Song"), as well as a handful of established models. The following year, Wexler built The Brain House, a modern-day songwriting commune in the Hollywood Hills where he invited a group of writers, musicians, and artists to live and work together under one roof.
2011-present: The Brain Music
In February 2011, Wexler founded The Brain Music, a cross-platform record label, artist management company, and publishing company.
