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.

Dossena is also active as a film score composer, and his credits include films by Mario Monicelli and Ferzan Özpetek. [1]
