Every story has a beginning, and Moon Baby Gongs is no different. It began when Jessie met independent gong maker, Ryan Shelledy in December of 2015. A relationship blossomed, and a deep loving partnership took root. After a few years passed, they decided it was time for a change. Following 20 years in the restaurant industry, Jessie was ready to finally take charge and create her own path. With the encouragement and instruction of Ryan, she began creating her handheld wind style Walking Gongs. Early in 2023, confident in her new abilities and with the amazing support of her partner Ryan, Moon Baby Gongs was born.
