About the Artist
Multi-instrumentalist Raul Midon straddles Latin, pop & jazz, with a hair-raising, show-stopping voice and dazzling guitar technique.
After several years as the first call background vocalist for pop stars including Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, Julio Iglesias and Jose Feliciano, he made the move to New York City. Midon has also devoted a great deal of time to his solo career as both a jazz vocal improviser and performer, working around the world with such notable jazz legends as Paquito D’Rivera, Dave Valentin, Dave Samuels, and Claudio Roditi. Recently signed to Warner Chappell, he is now devoting his time to songwriting and is involved in several noteworthy commercial projects. Among them is the collaboration with DJ/Producer Louie Vega. The album "Elements of Life" which features Midon and Cape Verdian singer Anane is scheduled to be released in April 2003. Midon is a member of NARAS, LARAS, AFTRA and SAG. His new, self-produced CD “Blind To Reality,” is available at midon.com.
