After beginning his career in the 1980s as a writer and producer for several German musicians, such as Hubert Kah, Zundel produced 2 pop albums for American-German singer/actor Sydney Youngblood. The first album, Feeling Free, included several hit singles that reached gold status in countries throughout Europe. The most successful one of these was "If Only I Could", which reached the top 3 in the UK charts upon release. While Zundel was signed to Circa Records UK, a short-lived label run by to-be Virgin USA executives Ashley Newton and Ray Cooper, the Youngblood records were distributed under Virgin Records U.K. The success of Feeling Free opened the door for Zundel into the international music world.

Zundel's musical style is often referred to as "The Brave Sound", coined for its unique stylistic and mixing choices. He makes a point to collaborate with musicians and singers from around the world using this label; creating "The Brave Sound" projects with them.
