Speaking on the concept behind the online vocal challenge, the company’s Consumer Brand Manager, Oluwabusayo John said; “Shalina came about the vocal challenge taking into consideration two things that unite Nigerians- sports and music. Music is one aspect of life that connect Nigerians together and when you have a product like this, it is better you connect with music in order to resourcefully connect with a good number of your consumers. Every popular musician is identified by his or her voice. So with Shaltoux Lozenges, which is made of natural ingredients to clear your voice, it’s a natural thing for us to come up with something like ‘My Voice My Identity’ to connect with our consumers.

Adams said; “it’s an honour to do it with Shalina. It is a great privilege. And I must say that Shalina is not selfish, some companies are just concerned about selling, but Shalina is discovering and rewarding talents, as well as developing and giving back to the people.”
Remarkably, the concept which has the highly experienced team of 3P Primaa Productions and Promotions headed by cerebral Prince Adeyemi Aseperi- Shoninare as part of its development and execution teams is centred on objectives which sought to connect the products to its loyal consumers’ lifestyle and aspirations.
Meanwhile, one of the highlights of the event was the celebration of the memories of Lanre Fasasi, a former Nigerian musician and music producer, popular known by his stage name, Sound Sultan. Until his death earlier this year, he was the initial host of the contest which was earlier billed to run from February to April 2021. To cap the celebration of his memories, a one minute silence was held in his honour.
