Members of bemix groups Audiobox and Amplified recently had an exciting opportunity to interview Benji Webbe, lead singer of Skindred, for The Audiobox.

Tom and Ty spoke with Benji about his favourite music venues, the meaning behind some of Skindred’s songs, and the band’s brand-new album You Got This!, which was released in April 2026 through Earache Records.

The interview was a fantastic example of people with learning disabilities and autistic people creating meaningful media content, building confidence, developing interviewing skills, and having their voices heard through shared passions and creativity.

How amazing!

Tom and Ty were also invited backstage to meet Benji when Skindred performed at Leas Cliff Hall as part of the band’s Detour Tour.

Tom said:

“It was a real pleasure to talk to Benji and he was really passionate about societal change, a really lovely guy. The gig was fantastic and the music stirred up a whirlwind of positivity.”

The experience highlights the power of co-production, creativity, and opportunity through bemix groups like Audiobox and Amplified, supporting people in connecting with their communities, sharing their talents, and building confidence through music and media.
