Jerod Gunsberg

Jerod Gunsberg is a behind-the-scenes operative in the independent music business. Currently he runs the marketing department for Nitro Records. Prior to Nitro, Gunsberg was the general manager of The Telegraph Company and Kindercore Records. While at Telegraph, Gunsberg released early albums from Stew, Kelley Stoltz, Church of Betty, The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love, and Jim Roll.

While general manager of Kindercore Records, Gunsberg oversaw notable releases from groups such as Dressy Bessy, Of Montreal, I Am the World Trade Center and Maserati. Gunsberg's tenure at Kindercore and The Telegraph Company came to an abrupt end when Stanley Hartman, Gunsberg's partner and the CEO of The Telegraph Company, closed the business and moved to Canada. Kindercore Records founders, Daniel Geller and Ryan Lewis sued Hartman and Gunsberg. Gunsberg left New York in late 2003 and relocated to California. Without the financial resources to defend the lawsuit, he filed for bankruptcy in 2004. Shortly thereafter enrolled at Loyola Law School.
