Raul Quines is a Filipino-born American composer, songwriter and music director of N.O.W. Collective, a collaborative group of artists based in New York City. His inspirations are drawn from the multiplicity of life’s offerings: birth, philosophy, mathematics, art, movement, silence, musical borrowings, pop-music culture, ethnic music and traditions, J.S. Bach, reflection, dream, love, tragedy and death.

His chamber works have been performed by some of today’s lauded contemporary music ensembles, such as the Composers Concordance, Absolute Ensemble, Sweet Plantain, Soundclock Ensemble, Attacca Quartet and the Locrian Chamber Players. His orchestral works have been presented by the Vivace Orchestra (of Stringendo), West Chester Chamber Orchestra and the Manhattan Composers Orchestra. Previous collaborations include artists Mario Gosalvez-Blanco, Ko Ando, Eun-Kyung Kim, Guillaume LeMasurier and Nan Huh. As a performer and conductor, Mr. Quines has had the pleasure of working with artists the likes of Gene Pritsker, Charles Coleman, Elizabeth Weigle, Aisha Sudiarso, Iris Gross, Garry Press, David Cossin, Theo Bleckmann, Olivier Fluchaire, Michael Midlarsky and Isabela Quines. Finding as much delight in multi-media setting, he's worked with Kristjan Järvi and visual artist, Mark Kostabi at the Kostabi World, choreographer/dancer Jane Sato at the inaugural concert of N.O.W. Collective Performance Series at Tenri Cultural Institute in 2014, and Paul Nugent in the production of Orson Welles' Christmas Carol with AboutFACE Ireland Theatre in Dublin in 2016.

As a singer-songwriter Raul Quines draws his style from the Big Band era, 60’s and 70’s Rock, Motown, R&B, World, Alternative, and the Pop music culture. His single “Mesmerized” shows influences of The Beatles and Queen; yet, it is also telling of the level of maturity and craftsmanship that is all his own, with unmistakable elements of his classical lineage. Raul Quines exhibits the qualities of a seasoned songwriter in his strong single song debut.
