Federica Lorusso was born in Bari, Italy.

From the first years of her life she showed a strong artistic inclination, strongly supported by her family. She began her musical studies privately as a singer at the age of 12, playing the piano as a secondary instrument. At 16 she discovered jazz thanks to her teachers Vito Di Modugno and Serena Fortebraccio and in 2014 she started her university studies in jazz piano at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague. Federica has performed in various international venues in Holland (Bimhuis, Jazz in The Gracht, Bibliotheek of The Hague, Diligentia Theater, Delft Jazz Festival and many others) in Italy (JazzMi Festival in Milan, Jazz in Andria, Nel Gioco Del Jazz in Bari) in Spain, Belgium, Greece (Athens Technopolis Jazz Festival). In 2019 she was one of the 10 finalists of the famous Italian jazz competition "Premio Internazionale Massimo Urbani". Federica has shared the stage with famous artists such as Rachel Gould, Eric Ineke, John Ruocco, David Linx, Michael Abene, Tineke Postma, Fabrizio Bosso, Giuseppe Bassi, Giovanni Scasciamacchia and many others. She is finishing her master studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in piano and voice.

TESTIMONIALS

What they say

“An incredible swinging, creative and soulful piano player and composer. Lorusso is an amazing talent to keep in mind”

Eric Ineke
Jazz drummer, teacher at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague
“I have had the privilege to have Federica as a main subject student during the last two years of her Bachelor study at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (2018-2020). She was and is very much steeped in the hard-bop tradition but she showed a great eagerness and willingness to work hard on deepening her knowledge of other directions of jazz and to explore more free, abstract and/or lyrical forms of improvisation. It was a joy to see her fast development in those two years, both technically and artistically. In a short time she had turned into a more versatile musician who likes to challenge herself and who is able move in different- and even contrasting directions without losing her identity as an improviser and composer, always with the jazz tradition in its’ broadest form present. Apart from being a pianist she is also a wonderful singer which, makes her profile as an artist even stronger in my opinion. The snippets I see of her development lately (unfortunately through the Socials only, because of Covid times) show that the line of development I have seen is continuing and extending at the Conservatoire of Amsterdam where she is doing her Master, which of course makes me very curious to hear her live soon again when the times allow it.”
