  • Navigating the Intersection of Art and Commerce with Randy Ojeda

    Navigating the Intersection of Art and Commerce with Randy Ojeda
    Jan 7 2026
    Picture this: you are standing at the intersection of Art and Commerce. It is a hectic crossing; a convoluted tangle with countless voices offering advice anywhere on the scale from utterly awful to actually useful but no easy way to discern which is which. Here to clear a path is Randy Ojeda, manager and music lawyer but for purpose of continuing the mind illustration, a crossing guard the traffic actually stops for. Not only do Graham and Randy talk about bad deals and shady accounting, but also about Randy's unique approach to helping new and indie artists navigate the intersection by making legal services more accessible. Also, club sandwiches and Arnold Palmers.
