Raul Midón is a Grammy-nominated contemporary singer/songwriter whose impassioned acoustic guitar playing and silky tenor vocals traverse pop, jazz, soul, urban, cumbia, and flamenco traditions. Blind since birth, Midón began his career as a backing vocalist for Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, and Julio Iglesias, before hitting the Top 200 with his 2005 debut State of Mind. 2010's Synthesis on Decca was produced by Larry Klein. It introduced Midón to top-flight jazz musicians including Dean Parks, Larry Goldings, Paulinho Da Costa, and Vinnie Colaiuta. Midón's greatest industry notice occurred with 2016's Bad Ass and Blind and 2018's If You Really Want, with the Metropole Orkest conducted by Vince Mendoza, earning him back-to-back Grammy nominations for Best Vocal Jazz Album. He made his Mack Avenue debut with 2020's Mirror, followed by the all-instrumental Eclectic Adventurist and 2024's Lost & Found.
