Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has built a genre-defying career that blends soul, jazz, Latin rhythms, and acoustic virtuosity into a sound entirely his own. Blind since birth, Midón has often been described as a “one-man band”—turning his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus (The New York Times). His artistry has earned praise from icons such as Quincy Jones (“his music makes you smile”), Elton John (who called State of Mind a “soul classic”), and Bill Withers, who championed his music.
Midón first captivated audiences worldwide with his breakthrough album State of Mind, produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, the album remains a touchstone of modern soul and jazz. Over the years, he has collaborated with a remarkable range of artists, from Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Marcus Miller to Snoop Dogg and Roberta Flack. He has performed with orchestras, at jazz festivals across the globe, and even appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to debut new work.
A true eclectic adventurist (People), Midón continues to push boundaries. His latest album, Lost & Found (2024), released on his own ReKondite ReKords label, showcases his evolution as a storyteller and composer while reaffirming the joyful, borderless spirit that defines his music. Whether onstage with only his guitar or accompanied by full orchestra, Raul Midón embodies what The Guardian once called a “totally musical mind at work.”
