Zanna Records Founder Achieves Major Milestone Without Major Label Support
Los Angeles, CA – December 19, 2025 – Gianluca Zanna, CEO and founder of independent music label Zanna Records, has officially surpassed 10 million views on his YouTube channel (@GianlucaZannaMusic), marking a monumental achievement for an artist operating entirely outside the traditional major label system.
What makes this milestone particularly remarkable is the accelerated timeline – the majority of these views accumulated in recent months, demonstrating explosive organic growth and authentic audience engagement that major labels spend millions trying to manufacture.
"Hitting 10 million views as a truly independent artist proves that you don't need a major label machine behind you to reach a global audience," said Gianluca Zanna. "This is validation that quality music, strategic vision, and direct connection with fans can triumph over corporate infrastructure. Every single one of these 10 million views represents a real person connecting with our music on their own terms."
Unlike artists backed by major label marketing budgets, promotional teams, and industry connections, Zanna has built his success through entrepreneurial ingenuity and unwavering commitment to artistic independence. His label, Zanna Records, has achieved what many industry insiders deemed impossible: over 8.5 million YouTube views (now surpassing 10 million), radio play across 1,000+ stations in 29+ countries, and chart-topping success including a #1 position on the North American College and Community Radio Chart.
Zanna's recent collaboration with singer Claudette Lyons, "You Are My Destiny (Future Remix)," also reached #3 on Amazon's Best Sellers Dance & Electronic Charts, further cementing his position as a force in the independent music landscape.
The Italian-American music producer and entrepreneur, who moved from Italy to America in 1998, has been featured in major publications including Rolling Stone Magazine, Forbes Magazine Scotland, Music Connection Magazine, The Insider Weekly, and Entrepreneur Magazine, Billboard Italy, Rolling Stone UK. His success story resonates particularly with independent artists and entrepreneurs seeking to forge their own path. "The music industry has changed fundamentally," Zanna explains. "Artists no longer need to sacrifice their creative control or their profits to reach millions of people. This 10 million view milestone is proof that the independent model isn't just viable – it's powerful."
Zanna has also secured representation with Hollywood's JJ Entertainment, whose roster includes legendary artists like the Eagles and Madonna, demonstrating that industry heavyweights recognize the value of his independent success model.
Beyond music production, Zanna draws from his personal journey – from challenging experiences at boarding school and military school in Italy to building Italy's youngest music magazine before emigrating to America.
The 10 million view milestone arrives at a pivotal moment as Zanna continues to expand his influence in the music industry while maintaining complete creative and business independence through Zanna Records.
