The show included interviews and live performances with the guests. Aysha had been a guest on the network's other shows before being presented with this incredible opportunity. “I love meeting new people and getting the chance to talk to my favorite artists face to face and perform with them in this kind of intimate setting,” Aysha says. “I enjoy learning about their individual journeys and about their process of creating music that brings enjoyment to so many people. As I've grown myself as an artist, I appreciate the details that go into that process so much more. It's always exciting to start writing songs and experience the hard work and joy that is part of watching a project come to fruition. I love recording and performing equally. It's really wonderful to have the opportunity to share my music with so many people and work with such high caliber musicians and producers. To riff a little on the title, I'm glad to be able to take everyone a little higher with this new album.
