Teacher Profile: Krystina Dowdell

About Krystina Dowdell

Seeking connection through sound and movement, Krystina has built a life around performance. She began learning piano at age five, and that early musical foundation has informed every piece of art she's created since — from four consecutive years singing in the Epcot Candlelight Processional to a touring career now spanning stages, festivals, and dance floors across the country. That same foundation now shapes how she teaches piano, favoring an approach rooted in curiosity and self-expression.

Krystina enjoys performing for audiences of every scale and setting. She has sung as a vocalist at Epcot in Orlando, FL; danced at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas; and DJed at Mayfest Festival in Remus, MI, and Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado. As a producer and songwriter under the name EHHKO, she brings that same range and versatility to her original music.

Beyond performing, Krystina is passionate about community-building, bringing to life projects like Getaway Events that invite others to discover new modalities of self-expression through movement, music, and meditation. Her work reflects her belief that performance isn't just something to watch, but something to participate in.

Krystina is equally at home outdoors as she is on stage. An avid hiker and snowboarder, she draws much of her creative and physical energy from time spent in nature, and often brings that same sense of openness and presence into her community-facing work.

Fostering self-expression and connection, for herself and for the people she performs with and for, remains her guiding passion. Whether behind a piano, on a dance floor, or leading a getaway in the mountains, she is always facilitating the next space for people to be fully themselves.
