Who is Gianluca Zanna, CEO of Zanna Records?
Gianluca Zanna’s musical journey began in Rome, Italy, where he spent his early childhood by the sea, enchanted by his grandfather’s serenades and the epic cinematic scores from his family’s movie theatre. However, his idyllic surroundings changed when he entered Italy’s prestigious National Boarding School “Convitto Nazionale” at just 10 years old. Later, he attended the elite Military Academy Nunziatella, the world’s oldest military school.
It was during his time at boarding school that Zanna discovered music’s transformative power. Rather than playing soccer like his peers, he immersed himself in songwriting, finding old instruments in the school’s attic and teaching himself to play guitar, bass, and drums. At the same time, Zanna developed a love for classical Italian poetry, drawing inspiration from greats like Ovid, Dante, and Petrarch. This passion for words and music led him to fill notebooks with poetry, which would later become lyrics for his songs.
As a young dreamer in Italy, Gianluca looked up to legendary producer and sound engineer Brian Reeves, who worked with icons such as Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, and U2. Today, Reeves collaborates with Zanna, mixing some of his most recent tracks, including ‘I Want to Know,’ ‘Storm,’ ‘I AM,‘ and ‘The Other Side of My Heart (Remix).’
