Born prematurely in a rural New Mexico hospital, Raul Midon and his twin brother Marco (now a NASA engineer) were blinded as infants after spending time in an incubator without adequate eye protection. The sounds of music became integral to Midon's life around age 4, when his father, a professional dancer, introduced him to the drum.
Midon, who is of African-American and Argentinian descent, joined Miami's multicultural musical community after college. He rose to local prominence as a studio musician, cut a Spanish language album and toured with South American superstar Shakira as a member of her band.
Midon's debut album, "State of Mind," both defies genre classification and defines the main ingredient of his success.
