Cherele × Randy Ojeda ESQ
Produced by OK Coop
There had to be a first one. “Radical” immediately felt like the right record to launch RANDY OJEDA ESQ. CHERELE is confident, unapologetic, and completely herself. That’s really what this project is about: finding great independent music, believing in it, and helping more people hear it without asking the artist to give up ownership along the way. Thank you to CHERELE and Ok Coop for trusting me with ESQ-001. There will be plenty more records, but only one gets to be the first.
Randy Ojeda ESQ is a curated release series built around one simple idea: great records deserve an audience.
I partner with artists whose music I believe in, release one record at a time, and put my name and resources behind helping those records reach more people.
No ownership. No royalty split. No recoupment.
Artists keep 100% ownership of their masters and publishing, and receive 100% of the royalties.
Symphonic Distribution has waived its distribution fee for the series. Randy Ojeda ESQ takes no fee or royalty participation. Artists receive 100% of their royalties.
I just want to stand behind great music and build a series of releases I'm proud of. If somebody discovers a new favorite artist, or if somebody gets one step closer to a deal because of this, then I've done my job.
Some records are too good to sit unreleased.
I'm looking for songs that I can't stop listening to. Genre doesn't matter. Audience size doesn't matter. I care about the record.
Send one song.
Not an album. Not 40 demos. One record you believe in.
