Harry Edgar Palacio stands as one of the most unique and accomplished creatives of his generation. A U.S.-born author, fine artist, and indie musician, Harry’s work transcends categories, blending intellect, emotion, and spirituality into a singular artistic voice. His ability to balance multiple disciplines while maintaining authenticity has earned him recognition on both national and international stages.

As a musician, Harry’s career is defined by versatility and fearless experimentation. Under his own name and through his project Oregon Kool-Aid, he has released 13 albums that explore the edges of alternative and indie sound. His hit single “Coral Relief” topped Luxembourg’s indie/alternative charts at #1, signaling his growing global influence. Over the years, he has performed alongside Grammy winners and nominees, including punk legend Ari Up of The Slits and former members of The Raincoats, who were once praised by Kurt Cobain. His presence on platforms like MTV, CBS, ABC, and NBC, along with international features from Moscow to Africa, reflects how far his music has reached.

In the visual arts, Harry’s creative impact continues to expand. His fine art has appeared in 11 magazines and graced the covers of two, while exhibitions in New York City, Peekskill, and at the School of Visual Arts have showcased his distinct style—bold, emotional, and thought-provoking. Publications like Bitchin’ Kitsch, International Voices, and Courtship of Winds have celebrated his ability to merge artistic technique with personal vision.

Harry’s achievements as a writer are equally impressive. With 11 published books and contributions to over 75 literary journals and anthologies, including Washington Square Review and Tule Review, his words have resonated with readers across the globe. He has been honored as a finalist for the Fjords Review Book Competition and a semi-finalist for both the Quartz Literary Prize and Willow Run Book Award.

Beyond the arts, Harry is deeply rooted in spirituality and academia. A second-generation Osho lineage follower and certified yoga and Ayurveda guru, he has logged over 155,000 minutes in meditation. Holding a Master’s in Education from Manhattanville University and credentials from Stanford, The New School, and Parsons, he embodies the balance between intellect and intuition.

Living with schizoaffective disorder, Harry Edgar Palacio continues to redefine what it means to be an artist—turning personal challenges into creative triumphs and leaving a legacy of courage, depth, and transformation.
