Emily Moldy: The Story of The Intern

What's Up World & YMR Family?!
Pleased to meet you. My name is Emily Moldenhauer (or Emily Moldy, since it's easier to remember... and pronounce) and
I'll be here at Youth Movement Records as the intern for the next 6 months...

My story is this: I'm a student at UC Santa Cruz and part of the Community Studies program... a program where I get to do an internship at a non-profit community organization for school credit. That is why I am here... to learn the ways of community organizing as well as to be around music and beautiful, musical people (like yourselves) as much as I can! I want to focus on learning ways that art can and IS being used as a tool for resistance, making change, opening people's minds, and allowing voices to be heard.

I am originally from San Diego but have lived in France, and then Santa Cruz in the past couple years. I am a musician; singer/songwriter, piano and guitar player, (wannabe) beat-maker (meaning I hope to be someday), poet, scatterbrained but music-mode thinker... and hopefully will keep growing to be much more, both as an artist and person. I love music of (mostly) all types... except for a few, and believe it is TRULY one of the most powerful things in the world.

For now, as the intern here I plan on doing some video-media work, be involved in the studio, help facilitate songwriting & guitar open labs with Andrea (MONDAY & WEDNESDAY, 1-3pm!!!), and WITH HOPES... get a chance to collaborate with the creative minds of the YMR youth!.. If that's you, know this: 1.) I am shy but am getting over it, 2.) I am your friend if you need it, 3.) If you are working on a track and need anything! such as backup vocals, ideas for a melody, help with the keys, etc.. COME FIND ME! I'll be around the office.... and 4.) Show me your songs, because I want to hear your stories and talents!
