DeLuca is a singer from the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, the birthplace of many talents. Raised in São Gonçalo, the artist started singing when he was just 3 years old. As a child, he performed for imaginary audiences and made his own CDs, composing songs and creating cover art. It was almost like a premonition of the years to come—DeLuca, in front of the computer, learning to make his own beats and composing melodies and lyrics at the age of 8.
His experience with performing came from his Christian upbringing, singing at religious services and weddings. However, it was only in late adolescence that DeLuca truly discovered himself as an R&B artist. Inspired by artists such as Mariah Carey, The Weeknd, Milton Nascimento, and Djavan, the São Gonçalo native used his not always pleasant experiences as a person from the suburbs to create his own catalog, with songs about love, pain, grief, and longing.
In 2022, DeLuca's career took a new turn when one of his songs went viral on TikTok and was used in a Pride Month campaign by the company. The artist garnered over 250 million views in more than 400,000 videos featuring "Ali.Ás" and other songs from his catalog in just a few months.
The year 2024 holds different novelties for DeLuca's career. His new single, released by the label Liboo/Virgin Music Brasil, the digital distribution arm of Universal Music, is set to be released at the end of May.
