Zanna Records Expands Live Performance Representation Worldwide Through New Collaborations with Rocky Point Express LLC and Velocita Music Entertainment
SEDONA, Ariz. — Zanna Records, the independent label founded by musician, producer, and songwriter Gianluca "Luca" Zanna, has announced two new collaborations expanding live performance representation for the label and its artists, including the EDM duo Luca and Claudette. Rocky Point Express LLC, led by President and Founder Michael A. Contés II, will represent Zanna Records and its full artist roster for live performance opportunities worldwide.
Separately, Velocita Music Entertainment & Marketing Agency, LLC, led by Bruce Gambino, will represent Luca and Claudette for live performances across the United States and Canada.
The two agencies operate independently of one another.
Rocky Point Express LLC — Worldwide Representation
Under the agreement with Rocky Point Express, Contés will represent Zanna Records and its artists for live performance opportunities worldwide, opening the door to concerts, festivals, corporate events, and private engagements across international markets. Contés, an Arizona-based entrepreneur with a long background in aviation and air transportation services, brings a wide network of industry contacts and relationships to the collaboration. An established saxophone player himself, Contés brings a genuine love of music to the partnership, giving him a natural understanding of the artists he now represents.
“Michael brings energy, vision, and a genuine belief in what we’re building,” said Gianluca Zanna. “Having someone represent our artists on a global stage is an exciting next step for the label, and for Claudette and me as performers.”
“I’m honored to represent Zanna Records and the incredible talent behind Luca and Claudette,” said Michael A. Contés II, President and Founder of Rocky Point Express LLC. “I see tremendous potential in bringing their music and live performances to audiences around the world.”
Velocita Music Entertainment — U.S. and Canadian Representation
Under a separate agreement, Velocita Music Entertainment & Marketing Agency, LLC will represent Luca and Claudette for live performance engagements across the United States and Canada.
Founded in 2023 and based in Oklahoma, Velocita provides artist management, talent booking, tour management, tour travel, and concert and event promotion, including radio, television, and streaming media campaigns. The agency is led by Bruce Gambino alongside his wife, Carla Gonzalez-Gambino.
The collaboration reflects a shared story between the two men: Zanna, who emigrated from Italy to the United States and independently founded Zanna Records, and Gambino, who carries his roots from his Sicilian father and grew up within the Italian community in Canada before building his agency in Oklahoma.
“I came here from Italy with nothing but songs,” said Zanna. “Bruce’s father made the same crossing from Sicily. We are two halves of the same story, and now we get to put that story on stage in front of American audiences. There is something right about that.”
Both collaborations are effective immediately, with live performance opportunities for Zanna Records artists now being developed across multiple markets.
