Neighbor. Entrepreneur. Operator.

I’m Jeremy Wineberg, a lifelong Angeleno, entrepreneur, and candidate for Los Angeles City Council in District 11. Before anything else, I’m a neighbor who believes this city should work, and who doesn’t accept “that’s just how it is” as an answer.

My parents came to the Westside from Chicago in 1978, and I grew up in Pacific Palisades in a family where music and production were part of everyday life. I went to my first concert at five, Sinéad O’Connor at the Wiltern and by ten I’d turned my bedroom into a makeshift recording setup with PA speakers and a RadioShack mic. When I was 18, I convinced my hairdresser to let me turn her Santa Monica salon into a DIY music venue at night. Hundreds of people lined up down the block for local bands, and eventually the city shut it down because we didn’t have the right permits. That was an early lesson in how Los Angeles operates and how quickly bureaucracy can shut down real community energy.

I earned my Master’s degree from NYU and came straight back to Los Angeles. Over the last 15 years, I’ve built companies in music and entertainment work that is less about hype and more about execution: budgets, teams, logistics, timelines, and delivery. I’ve co-founded and built multiple ventures, including Invisible DJ, Opus Label, Heard Well, and most recently Sounds Cool, a music company distributed by Warner Music Group. I’ve been featured in outlets like Billboard, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and GQ, but the through line of my career has always been operational: taking an idea and turning it into a finished outcome.

In January 2025, the Palisades fire took my home and my childhood home. Afterward, I did what I’ve always done: I went deep on the details, reviewed available information, and put my findings into a long-form report focused on accountability, prevention, and recovery. That experience also pushed me to launch the Overlooked Foundation so families navigating total loss aren’t left to fight alone.

I’m running because Los Angeles doesn’t need more slogans, it needs follow-through. District 11 deserves a city government that delivers basic services, responds with urgency, and measures progress in the open. I live here. I’m listening. And I’m ready to lead with the kind of execution this city has been missing.
