MING BRIDGES

When it comes to chart climbing and infectious pop music, 20-year-old Ming Bridges might be Singapore’s most marketable and surprising success stories so far. Born in Australia, raised in England and based in Singapore, the multi-talented singer/songwriter/actress won hearts with her fresh-faced looks, easy eloquence, relatable lyrics and charming pop songs. Don’t be fooled – that endearing personality and model-esque frame merely add to the complete package.

With her first full-length Mandarin album, Ming Day, released in Taiwan in December 2012, Bridges has secured a foothold with a Top 10 position in the prestigious G-Music charts and firmly laid to rest all doubt that she is anything less than the best.
