Independent artist and Zanna Records founder shares the step-by-step system behind global radio airplay across 415+ verified stations in 94+ countries on 6 continents.
Arizona — Songwriter, music producer, and Zanna Records founder Gianluca Zanna will release his new book, From the Arizona Desert to the World, on June 15, 2026, available exclusively at ZannaRecords.com. The book is a step-by-step guide for independent artists and labels seeking to build genuine, verified global radio airplay — without a major label, a radio promotion company, or a viral gimmick.
Written from his off-grid ranch in the high desert of eastern Arizona, the book documents how Zanna built a worldwide radio footprint spanning 415+ verified stations across 94+ countries and 6 continents, with his music distributed to more than 600,000 commercial B2B locations.
It distills years of hands-on campaign experience into a practical, repeatable system any independent artist can follow.
“The label is not a gatekeeping authority that controls your destiny,” Zanna writes. “The label is a tool — one you can build yourself.” The book draws on his own journey from Rome to the Arizona wilderness, where he founded Zanna Records independently and built a global operation on his own terms.
