Toronto, ON – April 7, 2025 – Just For You Music (JFYM), the newly launched independent music publishing company founded by Chris Giansante, has announced its first signing: a global music publishing deal with multi-award-winning Canadian country artist and songwriter Gord Bamford.
Built on a creator-first philosophy, JFYM offers hands-on support, tailored opportunities, and global reach to help songwriters and artists maximize their careers. With Giansante at the helm — a global industry veteran and former senior executive and Director that oversaw the global finance and operations of ole, which was rebranded as Anthem Entertainment — the company blends deep industry expertise with a fresh, flexible approach to publishing and rights management.
“Gord has been one of Canada’s most beloved and influential country artists over the last 25 years,” said Giansante, Founder and CEO of Just For You Music. “His success as an artist and songwriter is only superseded by what he’s given back to the community around him. I’m looking forward to working with Gord on the next chapter of an already storied career. The best is yet to come.”
Gord Bamford, a 26-time CCMA Award winner and 2-time CMA Global Country Artist Award recipient, has built an impressive legacy as a hit songwriter and performer, with over 100 million radio streams, 28 Top 10 singles, and multiple platinum and gold-certified albums. Recognized for his commitment to traditional country music and philanthropic efforts through the Gord Bamford Foundation, which has raised nearly $6 million for children’s charities and music programs, Bamford’s impact extends far beyond the stage.
“Chris and I have worked together before during his time at ole, and I’ve always respected his passion for supporting songwriters and championing great country music,” said Gord Bamford. “Songwriting has been at the heart of my career, and I know that with Just For You Music, I’m in the right hands to help take my music to new heights. I’m excited to continue working with Chris and his team as we bring my songs to audiences worldwide.”
Gord’s signing with JFYM reflects a mutual commitment to elevating country music on a global scale, while staying deeply connected to its roots.
