About the band

for you

biography

For You, the pop/rock sensation led by renowned actor Ed Westwick, widely known for his iconic role as Chuck Bass in HBO's hit series Gossip Girl, is set to make waves in the music industry. Being recognized by nearly 11 million followers on Instagram, Ed is no stranger to the spotlight, and now, as the lead vocalist of 'For You,' alongside musical powerhouses Hans Kristian Nordin, Frank Giampietro, and Michael Mathern, they are channeling their artistic prowess into a new frontier—mysterious yet fashionable pop/rock music with an irresistible charm.

The international band emerged from the creative vision of Ed Westwick (UK) and Michael Mathern (USA), who met at a party in Beverly Hills. Drummer Frank Giampietro (USA) and producer/multi-instrumentalist Hans Kristian Nordin (Norway), both acquainted with guitarist Michael from their shared studies at Berklee College of Music, swiftly became integral members of the band. For You now writes, records and produces their music together in Oslo, Norway and has named the city their “band home”. They have recently teamed up with Universal Music Group in anticipation for the release of their debut album.

Each member contributes their distinctive style, creating a harmonious blend that becomes a perfect fusion. Hans, with a rich background collaborating with artists like Jackson Browne and Run-DMC, unites with Michael and Frank, who bring their expertise from working closely with the Foo Fighters' engineering team. Ed, with his commanding stage presence, expansive vocal range, and penchant for exceptional lyrics and melodies, completes the ensemble. Together, the band flourishes, united by their shared passion for music and a collective desire to deliver an enthralling sonic experience.
