Aysha started her musical journey in her hometown of Santa Barbara, CA where she performed with several groups. Aysha later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a solo career and self released her debut album "Love Is a Rock".
After gaining exposure and garnering interviews with several radio stations, Aysha sought out management to further her career. Not finding what she was looking for, Aysha once again, self released her second album "Stay With Me- The EP". For this project, Aysha brought in Kevin Dorsey (Michael Jackson) and Monty Seward (Howard Hewett) to produce and mix, and it caught the attention of the LA Music Awards for Jazz Album of the Year. Shortly after Aysha was asked to perform at the Dubai International Jazz Festival. It was at that festival that Aysha met Saxophonist and Producer, Darren Rahn. A few months later, Aysha flew out to Denver to collaborate with Darren which resulted in her top hit, Take Me Higher. Catching the attention of a few record label executives, Aysha signed with Innervision Records. She released her third album "Take Me Higher" under Innervision Records. Take Me Higher became Grammy Considered for both the single Take Me Higher and the album in the category of Traditional R&B. The title track also reached #3 on the Groove Jazz charts.
Aysha is now back in the writing stage for her 4th album and excited of what's to come!
