Randy Ojeda, Esq.

Not to be petty but…
You’re out here dropping music videos for songs made by producers you never paid?

Be serious.

Don’t know what to listen to? Slayer.
Driving? Slayer.
Showering? Slayer.
Filing your taxes? You guessed it—Slayer.
The answer is always Slayer. 🤘🔥

Seeing a lot of “music biz experts” charging $300+ for vague advice and zero legal context. No background. Just big talk.

Meanwhile, I’m a licensed music lawyer with label + management experience — and I’m offering 30-minute consults for $100 all May.

Real advice. Real answers. Real progress.

If you can afford Balenciaga, you can afford to pay your producers.
Simple.

Artists always hear:
“Just be grateful you even got an offer.”

Nah.
Be grateful you had the guts to walk away from a bad one.

The right deal respects your value.
The wrong deal bleeds your career dry before it even gets moving.

What’s one red flag you’ve learned to spot the hard way? 🚩

If you need me this weekend, I’ll be somewhere between “getting my life together” and “taking a four-hour nap.”

This is a mutual aid thread for musicians:
New song? EP? Album? Drop the link.

No playlist? No label? No industry plant energy?
Cool—we’re the promo now.

Post:
• Artist name + track
• Link (Bandcamp = bonus points)
• Tell us what it means to you, if you want

Randy Ojeda Law was built on a simple idea: artists deserve legal support that’s clear, honest, and actually useful.

I’ve toured. I’ve managed bands. I’ve signed deals. Now I protect people from the fine print I used to fall into.

No billable hours. No BS.

Music Law. Simplified.

You’ve got a manager, a producer, a plug… but no lawyer? Come on now.

I’m putting all my faith in the third Taco Bell near my house. The first two let me down—betrayed me, even—but this one? This one’s different. This is the chosen one. The tortilla-wrapped messiah. I believe in her.

“You need a lawyer.”
—Me, to every artist reading this post.

If you’re signing contracts, releasing music, splitting royalties, or just wondering why your check hasn’t shown up yet… you need someone in your corner who actually reads the fine print (and enjoys it, weirdly enough).

I’m that guy.

Here’s a free legal tip: If you get a cease & desist, don’t ignore it. It won’t just go away, and pretending you never saw it is a great way to turn a warning into a lawsuit.

Have you used it? Just trying to justify the monthly fee

This bout to be my nerdiest post - but is Mimestream worth it for somebody who spends a lot of their time in Gmail? #MacOS

SXSW 2025 was fun—Japanese metal with synchronized headbanging, a nerdcore legend I didn’t recognize, a band that played 13 shows in 6 days, and yes, actual puppets on stage. Read my tour diary via Imperfect Fifth imperfectfifth.com/randy-ojeda-...

I told ChatGPT to roast me and it said I spend half my time “negotiating Spotify pennies” and man I wasn’t expecting it to be that savage.

Just read a rapper’s bio that said, “He GREW UP during the Chief Keef era of Chicago Hip Hop,” and I think my back just applied for AARP.

According to my SXSW schedule - Thursday March 13th will be the busiest day in the history of days.

Tomorrow I’m teaching a seminar on music publishing at my undergrad university and I’m so hype for it.

I have paper business cards, a digital business card, an NFC business card… I have a business card for every occasion except the one where someone actually wants my business card.

If you’re going to SXSW, I’d love to attend your showcase, panel, or event—but my schedule is starting to look like Pepe Silvia. So send me invites now so I can try to fit it in… or, better yet, send me any leads on human cloning, time travel, or a trustworthy body double service.

You should be listening to more Prince. I don’t care who you are or how much you currently listen to Prince…you can always use more Prince.

Did I grow up with ADHD or did I just listen to a lot of Dream Theater?

Which artist performing at SXSW should I absolutely not miss?
