“A free man beyond any category” (Huffington Post) best describes the unique musician that is blind singer songwriter guitarist Raul Midón.

His singular timeless soul pop jazz sound garnered him a standing ovation during his television debut on Letterman and an open invitation back to Leno following his appearances there. This talented, mesmerizing genre-defying artist has travelled the globe from India to Indiana spreading the message that you can do it, you can be yourself and be recognized and be bold.

With three major label records under his belt “State of Mind,” “A World Within A World,” and “Synthesis” and countless appearances both on television worldwide and on other artist’s records he is a pro and more a part of the musical landscape than you might realize. Not only have the music lovers of the world recognized Raul’s specialness so have some of the greatest musicians in recent history. You might have seen Raul featured in the recent documentary on Bill Withers “Still Bill” or in the Herbie Hancock documentary “Possibilities” or the documentary of the legendary producer Arif Mardin “All My Friends Are Here” where he declares that Raul is the only artist he ever signed to a label.

His musical collaborations have also been broad and varied from a duet with Jason Mraz to a live recording with bass legend and producer Marcus Miller to playing The Budakan with Roberta Flack. People Magazine calls him an “eclectic adventurist” and the New York Times an “unreconstructed hippy.” Guitar magazine describes him as “One of those rare musical forces that reminds us how strong and deep the connection between man and music can sometimes be.” Midón will delight you with his wit, his musical virtuosity all a result of his dedication to being the best he can be.
