In the early 1970s Dossena founded the label Delta, and produced artists such as Riccardo Cocciante, Antonello Venditti, Francesco De Gregori and Patty Pravo, occasionally also serving as arranger and songwriter.[1][2] After collaborating with the record company CAM, in 1990 he founded a new label, Compagnia Nuove Indye, also known as CNI Music, which launched groups such as Almamegretta and Agricantus.[1]
