BeBe Vox
BeBe Vox, the latest artist from Innervation Trust, has a big voice and a big heart for God. She performs in schools, communities and churches across the UK. Her infectious and energetic electro/pop performances provide school kids with an attractive alternative to the often negative messages and images portrayed by many mainstream artists. Originally from Swansea, BeBe was spotted by Innervation at the UK’s National Hope Academy talent search and signed to their Movation Productions label. BeBe’s first single hit the Top 20 in the Radio 1 Dance charts and her second reached number 6 in the commercial club charts, but her main focus has continued to be her work in primary schools.
In 2010 BeBe completed a mammoth 100 date primary school tour across the UK. “I absolutely love performing in primary schools,” says BeBe. “It’s so rewarding to see the kids’ reactions and to know that I’m representing Christianity in a way that is relevant to them.” BeBe also featured on THE4POINTS tour as well as the Rush Tour and has appeared at many festivals including Spring Harvest, Fuel, Frenzy, and Greenbelt. She has many more schools weeks planned, where she will be taking assemblies in several local schools in a particular area. Each week will then finish with a massive pop concert for all the kids from the local primary schools.
Make sure you don’t miss the chance to see her incredible show live.

Pop Connection
Pop Connection is Innervation’s primary school project where the children themselves become the recording artists! As our fastest growing project, Pop Connection is happening in schools all over the country, made possible by our ever expanding network of Pop Connection workers. Every child in each school involved gets the chance to learn a fun filled set of catchy and energetic pop songs which are then recorded by our technical team using a professional mobile studio. These songs are mixed and mastered to produce the school’s own album of positive, uplifting songs with a message of hope.
A concert, featuring all the children in the school, takes place the following week in a local church providing a great opportunity for school, church and community to come together. This always proves to be a fantastic finale to the project.
