MING BRIDGES
AGE 25
OCCUPATION
SINGER-SONGWRITER
It’s no cakewalk when you’re young and in a positon where it’s easy for the public to notice every little change in your body shape. Australian-born, Singapore-raised Ming Bridges has accomplished many things on stage and in front of the camera in her 26 years. You may have seen her on television on the children’s channel Okto, before she made a successful transition into the mandopop world as a singer in 2013.
The glamourous but high-pressure life took a toll on her though, and she took a break from the scene after she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Slow metabolism caused her weight to shoot up, and three years ago, she tipped the scales at 80kg.
