The options available are:

Option 1: (With Custom Browse or standard Browse)
- Make sure the shuffle mode is in "Shuffle by song"
- Browse to an artist and hit play

Option 2: (With Custom Browse)
- Browse to an artist and hold play down for a while and then select
"Random". This will play 20 random tracks for the selected artist. The
number of tracks played is configurable in Server Settings/Plugin in
Custom Browse section and the "mixsize" property.

Option 3: (With Dynamic Playlist + SQLPlayList)
- In SQLPlayList, create a new "Top rated for artist", change the
playlist name to "Random songs for artist" or something similar.
- You now have the following options:
-- Goto "Plugin/Dynamic Playlists" and then select the playlist you
created and hit play, you will get a list of all artists, select the
one you like to play. 
-- Browse to the artist in one of the browse menus and hold down play
for a while, now select Dynamic Playlist from the shown menu and then
select "Random songs for artist" (or whatever you called your playlist
created earlier)

There are probably other options also available which I don't remember
at the moment.

It would be possible to create a browse menu in Custom Browse that
works exactly as you like, but I'm not sure this is needed since the
available options seems pretty good.
