GIANLUCA ZANNA Songwriter · Record Producer · Publisher

 

It all starts with a dream. Then you set a time frame, and that dream becomes a goal. You work relentlessly toward that goal, and one day you realize the goal has become a new reality.

I remember being a 10-year-old boy in Anzio, Italy, on the rooftop of my grandfather Bruno's apartment, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, dreaming of one day coming to America and becoming a songwriter. A big dream for a little boy who could not yet speak English. I remember the first song I made up in broken English, strumming two strings on a guitar I fashioned from my grandmother's broom. It seems like yesterday, and yet it feels like another life within the same life. Here I am.
