Early life

David Weintraub[2] was born on 7 September 1978 in Beverly Hills, California, the only child of a Beverly Hills dentist father (who died while Weintraub was young) and a psychotherapist mother. Weintraub’s family mostly work in the field of science.

Career

Weintraub’s career began as a teenage intern for Interscope Records and Death Row Records where he worked on records for artists such as Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, No Doubt, Bush and Eminem. It was while at Death Row Records that he entered the University of Southern California entertainment business programme. In his last year at USC, Weintraub founded Spellbound Records with his boyhood friend Randy Spelling, the son of entertainment mogul Aaron Spelling.

Weintraub joined the William Morris Agency as an agent trainee for the heads of the music division before moving to United Talent Agency where he spent six years as a motion picture talent agent in the prestigious Film & Television department. Whilst there he sorted film and television projects for clients such as Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Nelly, Birdman, Kurupt and MYA. He also facilitated the move from reality TV to movies for Kristin Cavallari, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. After United Talent Agency, David co-founded Coalition Management with Troy Carter and they worked with Fat Joe, Eve, Nelly, Lady Gaga and Ya Boy.

Weintraub and his close friends Randy Spelling and Sean Stewart appeared in David’s first TV show Sons of Hollywood[3][4] ,[5] which aired on the A&E network. In a highly unusual move in showbusiness, Weintraub not only created a show but also produced it, starred in it and agented the participants.

Weintraub is currently working on projects with VH1, MTV, Lifetime, TLC, A&E, Nick, Bravo, Oxygen, E! and WE.

Weintraub is also a major force behind the widely successful Celebrity Rehab series aired on VH1 with Dr Drew. Weintraub hired sixty of the ninety celebrities appearing on the programme and also worked as a producer for the show. Weintraub's spin-off series from Celebrity Rehab was Sex Rehab, on which Weintraub worked as a producer and casting director.
