Italian vocalist and composer, she is active in a wide range of music. Her work includes songwriting, modern jazz and free improvisation and her singing is influenced by many sources, including the ethnic and the contemporary vocal expressions.
She leads the modern jazz quintetScraps, for which she composes original music and lyrics.

Their first album was released in May 2015 (Redshoes/JazzEngine Records).
Press
«Ludovica Manzo with “Scraps” signs an influential CD where the skills of composer, writer, leader, vocalist and interpreter are enhanced.»
Luigi Onori – Alias/Il Manifesto
«Ludovica’s free way of singing has a sort of avant-garde flavor, it refers to some Scandinavian productions, a certain kind of songwriting. It holds Bjork together with Maria Pia De Vito and Joni Mitchell.»
Federico Vacalebre – Il Mattino
«The omnivorous creative curiosity that, starting from jazz, pushes her to rigorously touch unexplored musical paths resulting from blend of styles and cultures.»
Stefano De Stefano – Corriere del Mezzogiorno
