Gianluca Zanna Drops New Hit Single “You Are My Destiny”

Hailing from Rome and spending his formative years in Anzio, Gianluca's journey was influenced by personal hardships. The impact of his parents' divorce and his father's aggressive behavior towards his mother led him to seek solace in solitude and the natural world. At the tender age of 10, he would find himself atop his grandfather Bruno’s apartment in Anzio, feeling the salty breeze of the Tirreno Sea while penning his first poems. Although he had yet to master the English language, he envisioned crossing oceans, overcoming cultural divides, and establishing himself as a songwriter in America.

Gianluca's passion for music emerged early in his life. Motivated by rock bands, he began learning English and composing songs, despite having only a rudimentary guitar—a broom handle with two strings. His enthusiasm was nurtured by the melodies of his grandfather and the film scores from his family's theater, laying the groundwork for a lifelong commitment to music.

At the age of 11, Gianluca enrolled in the Italian National Boarding School Convitto Nazionale. Despite its strict environment, he found comfort in music, discovering neglected instruments in the attic—a guitar, a bass, and a drum—and teaching himself to play. By 16, he became a member of the prestigious Military Academy Nunziatella, an experience that reinforced his rebellious nature and intensified his quest for freedom.

At 19, Gianluca embarked on an extraordinary global journey in pursuit of love and self-discovery. Armed with only his determination and devoid of a phone or credit card, he explored the Canary Islands, French Polynesia, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Singapore, and various European nations. Ultimately, at the age of 30, his aspiration came to fruition—he legally immigrated to America, the land where his new chapter would begin.

Gianluca Zanna was already making significant strides in the music industry prior to his relocation to the United States. He emerged as one of Italy's youngest music publishers by founding Contatto Discografico, a prominent music business magazine. His contributions also include the publication of influential music literature, such as the Vocal Method of Elizabeth Sabine, a guide authored by the esteemed vocal coach known for training Hollywood rockstars like Megadeth and Axl Rose. Furthermore, he established himself as a music producer and manager, acquiring prestigious domain names in the sound effects sector, including www.soundeffects.com and www.soundfx.com

Currently, Gianluca Zanna is the driving force behind Zanna Records, a label that brings his musical visions to fruition. With a repertoire of over 120 original songs, his work exemplifies the realization of dreams, the translation of emotions into melodies, and an indomitable spirit that defies limitations.

In addition to his musical endeavors, Gianluca has excelled in self-defense, attaining the status of a Krav-Maga Military and Firearms Instructor, as well as an expert in executive protection. His journey—marked by global experiences, challenges, and triumphs—demonstrates that dreams pursued with steadfast determination can lead to an extraordinary life. 

The narrative of Gianluca Zanna is far from complete. With each note, lyric, and progressive step, his symphony unfolds—a powerful reminder of the impact of passion, resilience, and the conviction that no aspiration is too grand to pursue.

Gianluca Zanna's most recent release, "You Are My Destiny," draws inspiration from a dream he experienced during his teenage years while residing in a boarding school in Italy. In this dream, he envisioned a future in America as a songwriter. The dream featured a woman who communicated with Gianluca, promising to find him when he grew up. Today, that woman is the love of his life and sings the song.

Check out "You Are My Destiny" out now on all streaming platforms as well as Gianluca's new comic book "The Adventures of Mr Zanna: The Beginning", available now on Amazon. Be sure to follow Gianluca Zanna on social media to stay updated with his latest releases.
