Luca and Claudette Climb a Sedona Mountain in 100-Degree Heat Carrying Every Piece of Gear Themselves to Film “You Are My Destiny (Rave Remix)”

No crew. No camera operator. No makeup artist. One hour on bare red rock under a scorching sun, a keyboard hauled up by hand, and a singer who hiked the mountain in high heels.
SEDONA, Ariz. — On August 19, 2026, at 11 o’clock in the morning, with the temperature climbing toward triple digits, independent artists Gianluca “Luca” Zanna and Claudette Lyons shouldered their own audio equipment, costumes and cameras and climbed a mountain in Sedona, Arizona.
An hour later, in full sun on exposed sandstone, they had shot the music video for “You Are My Destiny (Rave Remix)” — the club-driven reimagining of the song that has carried Zanna Records to more than 500 radio stations worldwide.
There was no production company on that mountain. No assistant to carry the keyboard stand, no stylist, no camera crew, no shade tent, no one handing out water. There were two people, the gear they could physically lift, and a deadline they set for themselves. Claudette hiked the trail in high heels and a mirrored costume, then performed take after take on the rock while the heat came off the stone. Luca set up the Novation keyboard at the cliff edge in a full suit and tie and played.
“People see the finished video and think there was a crew of twenty behind it,” said Gianluca Zanna, founder and CEO of Zanna Records. “There were two. We carried everything up ourselves, we shot for an hour in that sun with an iPhone, and we came down and started editing. That is not glamour — that is dedication. It is the same discipline we teach in Krav Maga and the same discipline that took our music from an off-grid Arizona ranch to +500 radio stations in 99 countries.”
The “Rave Remix” pushes “You Are My Destiny” into peak-time club territory — a driving four-on-the-floor pulse, stripped-back hooks and a build engineered for the dancefloor — while keeping the melody that made the song travel.
The record’s earlier versions have already delivered a Times Square billboard on the Clear Channel Spectacolor screen, a #1 on the North American College & Community Radio Chart, a top-three placement on Amazon’s Dance & Electronic chart and being played on +500 radio stations in 99 countries and 6 continents.
The duo’s YouTube channel has surpassed 43 million lifetime views.
Visually, the video is unmistakably Sedona and unmistakably Luca and Claudette: red rock, open sky and canyon walls rendered in a high-contrast magenta and violet treatment, with Claudette in a mirrored bodysuit and crown against the desert horizon and Luca at the keys above the valley.
“You Are My Destiny (Rave Remix)” and its music video are available now on all major streaming platforms and on the Gianluca Zanna Music YouTube channel.
