The Music Managers Forum (MMF) has revealed that Eleven Management’s Jayne Stynes is the new General Manager.
During her six years at Eleven Management, Jayne worked on live and recorded campaigns for artists including Damon Albarn, Blur, Gorillaz, The Clash, Spoek Mathambo, Róisín Murphy and Kano.
She cites her personal career highlights as working on the Africa Express, Orchestra of Syrian Musicians tour, the Gorillaz curated Demon Dayz Festival and Kano’s ‘Made In The Manor’ campaign.
Jayne recently completed one year of a PhD programme at the Centre for Cultural Policy and Research at the University of Glasgow.
Her programme centred on the significance of gender-focused initiatives in the UK music industries and wider creative industries, and she will resume to this research on a part-time basis in 2020.
While in Glasgow Jayne volunteered with Girls Rock Glasgow and held a communications role with Parat+, an app designed for musicians and artists working with visual and audio.
Jayne Stynes, general manager, MMF, says: ‘The MMF is an organisation I have looked to continuously throughout my career to date, from attending training days to drawing on the wealth of information inside their detailed guides. I am excited to be joining such a compelling, dynamic organisation and look forward to working alongside Annabella and the entire MMF team, the board, Associates and most especially the members.’
Annabella Coldrick, chief executive, MMF, adds: ‘This is a fantastic appointment for the MMF. Over recent years we have undergone a period of rapid expansion, both in terms of membership numbers, our Associate programme and in the range of activities and initiatives we support. Jayne’s depth of experience will enable us to carry on delivering the maximum possible support to our ever-growing community.’
The MMF currently represents almost 700 UK-based music managers and has more than 40 Associate Partners.
The organisation is a founding member of UK Music, the European Music Managers Alliance (EMMA) and the Council of Music Makers (CMM).
