Singer/songwriter/guitarist/engineer Raul Midón first made his mark as a first-call session singer upon graduation from the prestigious Studio Jazz program at the University of Miami in 1991. He sang background vocals on more than 60 Latin recordings, many of them Grammy-winning. In 1999 he was asked to join the touring band of Shakira. After moving to NYC soon after, Midón was signed by legendary producer Arif Mardin to his label under the Blue Note moniker Manhattan Records. He then released the acclaimed State of Mind and A World Within a World.

Midón has worked with countless legends in the industry including Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock, Sting, Terence Blanchard, and Dianne Reeves to name several. He received two ‘Best Jazz Vocal’ Grammy nominations, back-to-back, in 2017 and 2018 for his albums Bad Ass and Blind and If You Really Want. His latest album, The Mirror, was released to acclaim and he continues to tour, write, record and is working on a novel.
