Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
ROCKER Abraham Mathew - known to his family and friends by his nickname 'Kevin' - is the latest musician aiming for success in Talent Trail 2010 on Bahrain TV tonight.
However, the accomplished keyboard-player will be picking up a guitar and singing a self-penned song called 'Hope', which he hopes will impress the judges, our readers and the show's viewers.
Kevin, 22, a commerce student studying at the Global Institute of Management and Science, said: "It's a song about going through hard times that everyone encounters, and how blind hope can keep us going no matter what."
Kevin has been writing his own material for around five years and says he is inspired by everyday experiences and the people and friends who surround him.
GulfWeekly has joined up with the English language station-of-the-nation to undercover the kingdom's most promising entertainer.
We will highlight every contestant invited to appear on the Talent Trail 2010 segment of presenter Krazy Kevin's Music Mania chart show.
Readers and viewers will be able to vote in a special final edition of the programme and the contestant who receives the most votes will walk away with a prize trophy.
A panel of invited judges will be invited to comment on the recorded performances ... but it will be your e-mail vote that counts.
Each act chosen to appear live on Music Mania will be featured in GulfWeekly. Catch the show tonight at 8pm, or alternatively, catch the repeat on Friday and Sunday at 9pm. Presenter Krazy Kevin said: "The standard of entertainment has been incredible and the response from viewers has been great.
"We are coming close to the end of the contest and will be announcing details of the final voting show very shortly."
The contest for solo acts is open to all. If you can dance, sing, perform magic or tell a few jokes e-mail krazykevin@hotmail.com for your last chance of stardom as places in the final line-up are limited.
