2x-GRAMMY® Nominated Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist RAUL MIDÓN established himself as a first-call session singer upon graduation at the University of Miami in 1991, and sang background vocals on more than 60 recordings, many GRAMMY® Award-Winning. In 1999, he was asked to join the touring band of Legendary Singer Shakira. Later, he left Shakira's band to move to NYC to pursue his own career. Within a year he debuted at Carnegie Hall with "The Movie Music of Spike Lee". Raul has also worked with countless legends in the industry including Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock, Sting, Terence Blanchard, Dianne Reeves, Marcus Miller and many others. Raul received two GRAMMY® Award Nominations (back-to-back) in 2017 and 2018 for his albums 'Bad Ass and Blind' and 'If You Really Want' in the category of "Best Jazz Vocal Album". "It's a profoundly moving experience...Midon just walks on with his guitar and sings his deceptively simple songs, and the entire club is enthralled," raves THE GUARDIAN.
