About The Artist
Infinite Minds represents recording artist and composer Don Cadora’s debut single in his solo incarnation.
Initially, a singer-songwriter known simply as The Don, Cadora led bands like San Francisco favorite Parts For People—locally supporting acts like Band of Horses and Sonic Youth.
Cadora honed his performance, songwriting, and tomato-dodging instincts busking in the corridors of the Basque Country’s San Sebastian, Spain (Donostia) where a lone local dolphin Paquito breached in affirmation of his question as to the merit of his planned expatriation.
He later spent seasons picking grapes in the Sauternes wine region and two winters in the Viking enclaves of Stockholm Sweden where he developed a taste for Elvin psychedelic rock.
A former esteemed and/or honorary member of Cheuk Fung’s Yi Chuan Kung Fu School, The Berkeley Psychic Institute, Lothlorien - UC Berkeley’s Vegetarian Co-Op, Dana Hills Surf Team, Sea Scouts, and The All American Boys Chorus.
Cadora serves as a Meditation Teacher and owner of Don Cadora Consultants, a conscious marketing agency in Los Angeles, California.
