History

Coke Studio was originally founded in Brazil back in 2007 as a distinctive fusion music initiative, with the aim of combining the musical styles of two different Brazilian artists.[3] Subsequently, Nadeem Zaman, who served as the Marketing Head of The Coca-Cola Company, collaborated with Rohail Hyatt, a former member of Vital Signs, to produce a Pakistani version of the show. The first season premiered in June 2008, in front of a live audience. However, the format switched to a closed studio for the following seasons, which remains the current format of the show.[4] In June 2012, the Indian version of Coke Studio, named Coke Studio @ MTV,[5] made its debut, with Leslie Lewis producing the first season[6] and multiple producers taking on subsequent seasons.[7] The show ran for four seasons.[8]

Building on the success of the Pakistani and Indian versions, Coke Studio Bangla was launched in Bangladesh in February 2022,[9] with the second season starting to air in February 2023.[10]
