Freddy Wexler (born May 19, 1986) is a platinum award-winning producer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. His songs have been recorded by a host of international superstars including Lil Wayne, Selena Gomez, Avicii, Tiesto, Shakira, Akon, Enrique Iglesias, Demi Lovato, Wyclef Jean, Bridgit Mendler, Steve Aoki, and Martin Garrix. He is the recipient of two BMI Pop Awards, as both a writer and publisher.

Wexler is also owner of The Brain Music, a 360 music company specializing in records, publishing, and management. Current recording artists include Moxie Raia, Leroy Blue, Cruickshank, and Charles Perry. Current writers include Nate Fox of The Social Experiment (Chance the Rapper, Big Sean), Dave Kuncio (Nico & Vinz, Ty Dolla $ign), Eric Wortham (Jill Scott), and Matisse & Sadko (Martin Garrix, Steve Angello). The Brain has joint ventures with Universal, Disney, Warner Music Group, and Prescription (Rx) Songs.

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.”
