Independent Artist and Zanna Records Founder Reaches Historic Milestone Certified by vidIQ on March 19, 2026
SEDONA, Arizona — March 19, 2026 — Gianluca Zanna, Italian-American artist, CEO and founder of Zanna Records, and one-half of the EDM duo Luca and Claudette, has officially crossed the 20 million YouTube views milestone on the Gianluca Zanna Music channel — a landmark achievement verified and certified by vidIQ on March 19, 2026.
This historic milestone places Gianluca Zanna in rare company as an entirely independent artist — operating without the backing of a major record label — who has built a global audience of millions through sheer creative vision, relentless work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to his art and his fans.
“20 million views is not just a number — it is proof that music without borders, without gatekeepers, and without compromise can still move the world.”
— Gianluca Zanna
Born in Rome, Italy and immigrated to the United States in 1998, Gianluca Zanna built Zanna Records from the ground up in Sedona, Arizona — amassing a catalog of over 150 original singles spanning genres from classical to EDM to hard rock. His YouTube channel has become a destination for fans across the globe, with viewership spanning dozens of countries and reflecting the truly international reach of his music.
This milestone follows a series of major achievements for Gianluca Zanna and Zanna Records, including:
• Radio airplay confirmed in over 51 countries worldwide, with hundreds of stations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and beyond airing Zanna Records releases
• The hit “Wake Up America” surpassing 19.7 million views on TikTok
• #1 ranking on the NACC North American College & Community Radio Chart
• Official Billboard Spotify playlist placement — the only independent artist without major label backing to achieve this distinction
• Media coverage in Rolling Stone US and Rolling Stone UK, Forbes, Billboard Italia, Entrepreneur UK, and Music Connection
• Collaboration with legendary keyboardist Joseph Wooten (Steve Miller Band) to Zanna Records for an instrumental soul reimagining of “You Are My Destiny”
• The “Live with No Regrets — Analog Rebellion” hard rock project featuring rock legends Robert Sarzo, Rudy Sarzo, Robin Diaz, Kevin Martin, and executive producer Danny Saber
• Partnership with Danish music industry veteran Claes Cornelius, who championed Ace of Base at Mega Records
Gianluca Zanna continues to perform as “Luca” in the EDM duo Luca and Claudette alongside his life and creative partner Claudette Lyons. Together they have released music, co-authored the book You Are My Destiny (Action Takers Publishing), and co-created the comic series The Adventures of Mr. Zanna & Zayin, produced by Zanna Records.
The 20 million view milestone on YouTube stands as a testament to what is possible when an independent artist refuses to follow the conventional path — and instead forges his own.
