This week on The EntreMusician Podcast, I’m joined by Don Tomlinson—a veteran entertainment and intellectual property attorney with 44 years of legal experience, professor of entertainment law at the University of Houston Law Center, author, mediator, and lifelong music thinker.

In this episode, the bulk of our conversation centers on the intersection of music, law, and artificial intelligence—including Don’s hands-on legal and musical experience using Suno and related AI music tools.

We explore what today’s creators’ need to understand about authorship, ownership, rights, and responsibility as AI becomes part of the modern music workflow.
Don has mediated over 900 cases, serves on international IP panels including WIPO, and brings rare clarity to entertainment contracts and creative rights. He is also the author of Oedipus Tex and Desiderata.

This is a practical, grounded conversation for musicians and creatives navigating new technology without losing control of their work.
