Beginnings
In 2006, when he was seven, he sang for the first time in public at the regional music competition for children "Veo Veo" organized by the Teresa Rabal Foundation in Andalucia, being awarded with a special mention of the jury. Two years later, he won the revelation award at the national music contest held in Murcia being selected to represent Spain at the "Veo veo" international competition.
In 2005, Abraham auditioned for the television show "Menuda Noche" on the Canal Sur TV of Andalucia but was not cast for the show. Two years later he attended "Menuda Noche" to support his older brother Tony Mateo, who has been chosen to sing in the show, but Abraham was surprised by the show's presenter Juan y Medio and sang in place of his brother. Since then, Abraham has been a frequent guest of "Menuda Noche" singing in front of internationally recognized latin singers such as Raphael, David Bisbal, David Bustamante, and Juan Luis Guerra, who have praised Abraham for his strong vocal abilities and stage presence. Raphael said about him: "That's singing without imitating anyone! You are a great singer!", David Bustamante: "You sing like the angels! Impressive! I think he is unique!", and David Bisbal: "I have no words! He has a wonderful technique, a very nice voice and a nice tessitura! I predict a huge success!".
First album
Since his first appearances in "Menuda Noche", a friend of Abraham's family posted in Youtube videos of his performances, which soon enjoyed great popularity and caught the attention of producers of EMI Music Spain. Early 2009, when he was ten, he signed a contract with EMI Music Spain and released in December of the same year his debut album, recorded in Madrid, under the title Abraham Mateo.
The album produced by Jacobo Calderon and Jose Luis de la Peña contains twelve songs, seven of them were composed by Calderon himself and four tracks are covers of popular latin songs such as Raphael's "Cuando tu no estas" ("When you are not here"), Alejandro Sanz's "Los dos cogidos de la mano" ("The two holding hands"), Laura Pausini's "La soledad" ("La solitudine/The loneliness") and Luis Fonsi's "Imaginame sin ti" ("Imagine me without you"). The album includes a duet with the french teen singer Caroline Costa, the runner-up in the 2008 edition of the television contest Incroyable Talent, the french version of America's Got Talent. Abraham and Caroline recorded for the album a spanish version of Badfinger's "Without you", the song has also been covered with great success by Mariah Carey. To promote the album, Abraham has toured through several cities in Spain and performed in many spanish radio and television shows, including the popular television programs Mas que baile, Tu si que vales, the show of Maria Teresa Campos, and the Christmas Eve Special of the Telecinco channel. He was also invited to perform at the International Carnival Maspalomas in Gran Canaria.
In summer 2010, he recorded his first song in english, a cover version of the Celine Dion hit I surrender.
Acting
Abraham acted in the TV movies "Días sin Luz" (2009) and "Raphael: una historia de superacion personal" (2010) both produced by Antena 3 Films and broadcasted by the spanish television channel Antena 3. In the biopic "Raphael: una historia de superacion personal", he portrayed the worldwide acclamed spanish singer Raphael in the early years of his career and sang some of the vocal tracks.

Feel so alive
The lyrics of Abraham Mateo's song "Are you ready?" express a passionate love between the singer and the woman he is addressing. In the first verse, he claims to feel alive and lost in her eyes. He wants to play love songs and enjoy their company all night long, expressing his excitement and anticipation for a new day with her. The chorus repeatedly asks if she is ready for a big day or a new day, and if he is ready to hear her scream his name. The singer admits he is going crazy and wants to break away with her as the lyrics near the end of the song.
The song uses music as a means of expressing the intense desire the singer feels for his lover. The arrangement is upbeat and energetic, with a heavy emphasis on bass and percussion. The somewhat repetitive lyrics reflect the obsessive passion the singer feels, while the duality and buildup of the chorus create a tension that erupts in the song's final lines.
Overall, "Are you ready?" is an infectious and catchy love song that will send you dancing and singing along.
