Celebrating and supporting gospel music of all kinds and cultures, Time2Shine Ministry launches their search for the next super star with a new talent show that is set to be THE highlight in the 'gospel music' calendar.

Born through the recognition that the mainstream music industry does not always cater for those with talent who want to worship God, the T2S Gospel Talent Show will showcase musically-gifted Christians encompassing choral, rap, African, church, R'n'B and other sounds, whilst also reaching out to different communities across the UK and offering them an alternative music experience.

Singer/songwriter and founder of the Time2Shine Ministry, MercyB says: "We are both proud and delighted to be launching our first ever talent show; our aim is to not only showcase brand new Christian artists but to demonstrate that Gospel is now much more than just church music. It has leaped over its traditional religious walls and today, sounds very different. From reggae to rock, Gospel is now expressed in as many ways as there are music genres!"

The inaugural T2S Gospel Talent Show kicks off with 4 regional heats taking place in May across London, followed by Music Camp and the Live finals in June. The overall winner of the competition will get to record a single with Mary Mary, the award-winning American gospel music duo, record their own music video and go on tour with the T2S band.

The talent show host and judges will be announced in due course. For details and to enter the competition log on to www.time2shineministry.com. All applications must be sent in by 23rd April 2011.
