Bravo has a variety of shows to keep you busy during the summer months. One of them is the new reality series called Platinum Hit, which premieres tonight at 10:00 p.m.

Jewel and Kara DioGuardi will be hosting and judging Platinum Hit and will be joined by several guest judges, including Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Donna Summer, Jermaine Dupri, Taio Cruz and Ryan Tedder.

In this new series, 12 up-and-coming musicians have to battle through a series of songwriting challenges (from dance tracks to love ballads and everything in between). Each episode will feature a different theme where each contestant will have to write and perform lyrics from multiple genres. The show will also take us into the lives of the contestants and their inter-personal drama as they live together throughout the competition.

The ultimate winner will win a $100,000 cash prize, a publishing deal with Sony and a recording deal with RCA/Jive.
