Ian Carlos Lima Pinheiro (Salvador, April 23, 1997), better known by his stage name Dellima, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, actor, and dancer.

Biography
Queer Bahian artist Dellima began his career at the age of 17 when he was awarded a scholarship to study dance. From there, Ian Carlos Lima Pinheiro (his birth name) began his research in the areas of dance, singing, and theater. After graduating, he taught urban dances, directed and choreographed various shows, and joined the ballet of singer Ivete Sangalo. The experience of touring Brazil and the world on stage awakened Dellima's desire to produce his own music, focusing on his singing career.

2019: Career Beginnings
After his experience as a dancer and director of dance shows, in 2019, he released his first single Preta in collaboration with singer 'Eva'. At the end of the same year, he was invited with the LED group to participate in the pocket show of Salvador's New Year's Eve, opening the show for singer Anitta on the main stage. Dellima performed some of his original songs.

2020: Menino da Blusa Azul
With the growth of his career, 2020 was marked by the release of two singles "Astrologia" and "Marte", which in January 2021 became part of the EP "Menino da Blusa Azul". The first musical work portrays Ian's personal experiences, marking his story and the problems he faced throughout his life, such as family abandonment, sexual abuse, and non-acceptance of his figure.

2021–present: DELLÍRIO
On December 6, 2021, Dellima began his new project, DELLÍRIO, an album that marks the birth of his new persona "Dellima", free, open-hearted, and able to be whatever he wants, feminine, diva, cool, authentic, and label-free. With the single "Sensualiza", he opens the album in collaboration with Peu de Melo, mixing rhythms and styles ranging from Funk to Brega Funk, with a music video that brings representation with a hundred percent LGBTQIAP+ ballet. .

In early 2022, the singer released on his YouTube channel and on all digital platforms his single Sadomazoca, in partnership with singer and blogger Nobre Ju. The song, which openly talks about pleasure and fetishes, brings sensuality and a glimpse of the pansexual universe in which Dellima lives. With Voguing steps, the artist revives the 1980s American gay scene, where young people from the LGBTQIAP+ community gathered in their hangouts and created stylized steps with poses that referenced the models on the covers of Vogue magazine. Dellima teamed up with non-binary artist Lu Montty, founder of AFROBAPHO, to create the choreography for the music video. Sadomazoca brings to light genderless sexual freedom, where men and women wear clothes that represent them without indicating masculine or feminine, in a reference to Ballroom culture, in a "Brazilianized" version. "I was with the two producers of the track in the studio, and we wanted to make a danceable and relaxed proibidão track for my album that experimented with various pop styles: Funk, Electronic, Voguing, and Pagodão Baiano; that's how Sadomazoca came about," comments Dellima.

On February 18, 2022, Dellima released the single "Controle", in partnership with singer Nêssa. The song blends elements of pop and pagotrap, bringing sensuality and innovation to the style already popular in Bahia. The track addresses themes such as love and sensuality, and the music video presents an ambiguous narrative about the involvement between Nêssa and Dellima, whether with each other, with other people, or both. The song was composed by both artists and produced by Guiga Serra.

On April 1, 2022, Dellima released his first studio album, "DELLÍRIO", featuring danceable pop and 12 original tracks. The album is divided into three blocks: DELLÍCIA, DELLOMBRA, and DELLÍRIO. Unlike his first EP "Menino da Blusa Azul", which featured more personal songs, "DELLÍRIO" celebrates sexual diversity, freedom of expression, and represents Dellima's artistic maturation. The name "DELLÍRIO" is a satire on the prejudice suffered by LGBTQIA+ people, non-binary individuals, pansexuals, and effeminate individuals, who for a long time were treated as crazy or psychologically ill. The album addresses the daily experiences of the majority of LGBTQIA+ people, from repressed feelings to bolder actions, all presented in an audiovisual format, making the work lighter without neglecting activism and the desire for a freer and more respectful world. "DELLÍRIO" mixes elements of electronic music with popular rhythms from contemporary Brazil, such as funk, brega, piseiro, pagodão, and trap. .
