Manfredi met Thomas Champion and Jack Moffitt at the Australian Institute of Music in 2008. They formed a band together and in 2010 added Luke Davison and, now former member, Gideon Bensen and under the name The Preachers.
In 2012, they changed the spelling of their name to The Preatures to avoid legal complications with other bands with similar names, signed with Mercury Records and released the EP Shaking Hands[1]. The EP featured the single "Take a Card", written by Manfredi with Bensen on lead vocals. It was featured on Triple J Unearthed.
In 2013, they released a second EP, Is This How You Feel? featuring two singles, "Is This How You Feel?" and "Manic Baby".

Blue Planet Eyes, their debut studio album, was released on 30 September 2014[4], which peaked at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart[5]. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 the group were nominated in three categories[6].
Gideon Bensen left the band on good terms in March 2016[7].
Their album Girlhood was released on 11 August 2017 on Island Records and was nominated for an ARIA Music Award for Best Rock Album[8].
2019–present: solo project
In 2019, Manfredi was announced as the recipient of the Mushroom Music Publishing Recording Grant winning $10,000 towards the recording of her forthcoming debut album[9]. Manfredi is the seventh artist to take out the grant, following previous recipients such as Hatchie, DD Dumbo and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever[10].
