Karen Salicath Jamali is an artist who defies easy labels. A Danish-born, NYC- and Florida-based composer, pianist, producer, and award-winning visual artist, she moves effortlessly between creative worlds. Her sculptures and paintings have been exhibited more than 180 times across the globe, including at the Louvre in Paris, in addition her music has carved out an equally powerful space of its own.
A very interesting fact about Karen Salicath Jamali is that she never trained as a pianist. Her musical awakening began after a serious head injury and near-death experience in 2012. During her three-year healing process, she began “dreaming music,” fully formed, celestial compositions that insisted on being played the moment she woke. She approached the piano with no formal background, yet the music flowed through her hands as if guided by something beyond her.
That moment reshaped her entire artistic path.
Today, Karen Salicath Jamali is known for her intuitive, spiritual compositions recorded exactly as they arrive in her dreams. She plays each piece once or twice, capturing the raw emotion and purity of the moment. Nothing is rehearsed. Nothing is altered. This process gives her albums an unmistakable authenticity: unfiltered, honest, and deeply moving.
Her earlier works, including Dreams of Angels and Angel Pollination, introduced listeners to a universe of angelic beings translated into sound. Dreams of Angels was particularly ambitious, featuring 16 tracks inspired by archangels such as Metatron, Gabriel, Jofiel, Uriel, and Michael. Each composition reflects a spiritual frequency: healing, clarity, courage, love, or illumination. Tracks like “White Angel” earned international acclaim, winning recognition at the Charleston International Music Competition.
And now, with Wings of Gabriel, Karen offers what may be her most spiritually focused and heartfelt project to date.
Released on November 21, 2025, Wings of Gabriel is an 11-track piano album guided entirely by dream communication with Archangel Gabriel. Structured in three poetic “wings,” the album traces a full spectrum of Gabriel’s energy. The first wing offers a gentle introduction filled with compassion and the quiet warmth of divine love. The second wing opens into a sanctuary-like calm and the final wing moves into expansive, ethereal territory.
Mastering for the album was handled by the renowned Maria Triana, celebrated for shaping the sound of artists such as Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, and Whitney Houston. Every piece was recorded in the early morning on Karen’s 80-year-old Golden Age Steinway piano.
And just as in her visual art, where angels appear in bronze, glass, and paint, her music reflects a deep spiritual connection, one that bridges the physical and metaphysical. Her album cover, painted by Karen herself, completes the circle between her artistic identities.
