Jeff Antebi is a media industry entrepreneur and photojournalist.

He is the founder and creative director of Waxploitation Artists, which he formed a decade ago as a home for influential artists and unique projects. Two standouts include multiple-Grammy Award winners Gnarls Barkley and Danger Mouse.

He is a noted war and conflict photographer, most recently covering elections in Afghanistan, Haiti and South Thailand as well as humanitarian issues including the treatment of Roma Gypsies in camp Casilino 900 ("Little Calcutta"), illegal squatter slums (‘favelas’) in Brazil, and the horrific conditions for children living in Cite Soleil, one of the worst slums of the Western Hemisphere.

He guided artist/producer Danger Mouse's career for half a decade, during a period when he produced albums for Gorillaz, Beck and The Black Keys.

Antebi was the primary music executive behind the releases of albums and projects including the infamous Grey Album, and the highly acclaimed project Dark Night of the Soul -- a groundbreaking collaboration between David Lynch and Danger Mouse.

Antebi produced Waxploitation's ''Causes 1'' and ''Causes 2'' benefit albums for Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch and Oxfam.

In the short span of 2006 to 2009, Waxploitation Artists were nominated for eleven Grammy Nominations, winning two. They were nominated for seven MTV Video Music Awards, winning four.

Antebi is next slated to photograph upcoming elections in Gaza and Iraq.
