Not so wet behind the ears
BRIDIE Monds-Watson, aka Soak, does not try to hide her frustration. “This whole thing about my sexuality — I don’t get it,” says the 16-year-old singer. “It’s such a small part of me. When I do interviews, it always seems to end up in the headline. It is irritating.” The Derry teenager came out as lesbian to her parents two years ago and is upfront about her orientation. However, she also feels that it is irrelevant to her songwriting and cannot understand why the subject is of such intense fascination to the media.
More than that, she worries it might lead audiences to ghettoise her as a ‘gay’ artist.
