Life & Work with Jenny Mann

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenny Mann.

Hi Jenny, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Meet the rockstar by day, jewelry designer by night. Jenny Mann is the lead singer of the Rock ‘n Roll band, Blameshift and the creator of the guitar string jewelry company, Strüng. After logging 500,000 miles on the road and playing over 2,000 shows, she was inspired to make a music-inspired jewelry line for music lovers everywhere! After seeing partner/guitarist, Tim Barbours use guitar strings lying around the tour bus; an idea was born. Six years later, Strüng has become the leader in music-inspired jewelry that connects you to your favorite songs and gives back to numerous charities to help keep music in schools. She travels to Washington DC each year with the NAMM Foundation to advocate for Legislation about the importance of a well-rounded education which includes music. Jenny graduated with high honors from the SI Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University with a degree in Television, Radio & Film.

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
As with any startup business, we’ve had our ups and down. We have put our blood, sweat, and tears into Strüng!! But coming out of the music industry, any industry is easier than that! We continue to stay focused and keep pushing forward!

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Strüng makes guitar string jewelry. Every piece is handmade and inspired by a popular song. Our “fans” shop from a playlist of their favorite songs. We have become a leader in music-inspired jewelry and are the only company to use song titles as our marketing platform. I put a lot of time into ensuring that every piece we release targets our customers! This takes a lot of research and listening to our customers. I’m so proud of the community we have built of true music lovers!

How can people work with you, collaborate with you, or support you?
Something we are most proud of is working with famous artists. We get played strings from some amazing musicians, make limited edition jewelry, sell it to the fans and give back to charity. Our mission is music education, so we also work with a lot of really great charities that also support that cause.
