SOAK is 18-year-old Derry, Northern Ireland based Bridie Monds-Watson. She is currently on a UK tour playing exclusively at skate parks and skate gear shops.
The much talked-about 18 year old Northern Irish singer/songwriter SOAK has just spent a week in Austin, Texas, wowing crowds at the annual SXSW music conference. She was described by Consequence of Sound as “the only performer to stun the crowd to silence”, and the NY Times said “I saw a lot of great stuff at SWSX. But I have to choose one. She’s 18… But amazing — and I very much doubt I’ll get this close again”
