Coke Studio Philippines is back bringing another season of real magic and new experiences for the fans – Coca-Cola Fan Fusion. This year, Coke Studio Season 6 pays tribute to all the fans who continue to celebrate and uplift talents by giving them a chance to co-create a new song with their favorite artists – Shanti Dope, The Juans, BINI, Adie, Arthur Nery and KZ Tandingan.
The pandemic has affected the younger generation in many ways, and Coke Studio Philippines, a global music platform by Coca-Cola, aims to uplift their spirits by creating new social connections and real magic especially with the musical performers that they admire. Coca-Cola is giving fans a chance to be heard and included in the entire Coke Studio season, from songwriting, producing, and even the live performances.
“Coke Studio has been one of the biggest music platforms that promote artists and celebrate diversity, fusion and unity through music. What makes Coke Studio Philippines Season 6 special is that this is our first time creating a true collaboration, not just with different artists, but with their fans as well. Fans will get to choose what they want to hear and see in this year’s Coke Studio,” said Cesar Gangoso, Frontline marketing director, East Region, Coca-Cola ASEAN and South Pacific.
Through the Coke Fan Fusion Challenge, artists will collaborate with their fans to create one-of-a-kind music that is unique to Coke Studio. All they need to do is stitch their own beat, add their own lyrics, make a rap, or perform their own version of the Coke Studio Artist’s song.
Coke Studio collaborated with well-versed musicians transcending genres and styles. Meet the artists of Coke Studio Season 6:
