✨ Karen Salicath is a spiritual artist, pianist, guitarist, singer-songwriter, and composer who receives her music through dreams and moments of deep stillness. She is the founder of Quintessence Music—music received through the heart in conscious connection with the greater universe. Her work embraces the soundscape of angelic energies, tranquil moments of peace, love, compassion, and the beauty of stillness. Every composition is created as an invitation to reconnect with the heart, to heal and feel the quiet essence within, true classical crossover/neoclassical piano and acoustic indie folk music, called “ Quintessence Music.” May you feel the presence of angels with you, reminding you that you are never alone, and always loved ❤️ ✨🙏. ✨
✨✨The Music Story: It wasn’t until an life-changing accident that resulted in a head injury and a near-death experience. After a three-year journey of healing and recovery back to life, she was given an extraordinary gift: although she had never played the piano before, she suddenly found herself able to play and compose music spontaneously. Completely self-taught, she began creating the meditative music that became an important part of her own healing. Soon afterward, she also began hearing music in her dreams, inspiring her to record what she was experiencing. Since then, Karen has composed more than 2,500 original compositions, 8 albums, and 8 solo performances at Carnegie Hall. Today, her music has reached listeners around the world with 137,000+ followers and 24 million streams.
Karen now also writes and performs original songs with acoustic guitar in the Indie Folk tradition. Whether through her meditative piano compositions or her songs, her music is created in the same way—received through the heart in moments of deep stillness. She calls this Quintessence Music: music that is received rather than simply composed, inviting listeners into peace, presence, and a deeper connection with themselves and the greater universe.
Her lyrics have been compared to Bob Dylan, while her musical style has been likened to Bon Iver, Kate Wolf, Novo Amor, The Velvet Underground & Nico, and Alice Coltrane. ✨
✨ Welcome to a Journey of Dreams, Stillness, Healing Quintessence, Angelic Energies, and the quiet music from the heart.✨
