“The Jewel of Reggae”, Aysha Lorén, returns to the UK live scene with this Hideaway debut show marking the launch of her new album featuring the single ‘Like I’m Gonna Lose You’ (produced by Adrian ‘Kenz’ McKenzie).

2014 saw the emergence of an exciting newcomer to the world of reggae when singer Aysha Lorén released her version of the Louisa Mark classic ‘Keep It Like It Is’ on the EP ‘Back To You’.

Aysha's rendition smashed Amazon Bestsellers & topped UK charts for a breathtaking 8 weeks. The success lead to the song being licensed on the 50th volume of the prestigious ‘Strictly The Best’ compilation on VP records, leading to international recognition of this rising talent. 

At the same time Aysha was wowing us with live performances alongside the likes of Sir John Holt, Frankie Paul, Sanchez & Etana, a guest slot at Christopher Ellis’ sold-out Jazz Café show, and a European tour with Luciano – all grabbing the attention of many new fans. 

In July 2015, through VPAL music, Aysha released her brilliant debut album ‘My Wishing Well’ (featuring collaborations with the likes of Tippa Irie, Christopher Ellis, Jazzwad, Chris Peckings, and Mad Professor). 

Having being dubbed the ‘Jewel of Reggae’, Aysha continued to work hard through to the end of 2017 alongside artists such as Maxi Priest, Bitty McLean, and Lukie D, as well as performing on the legendary Saxon Sound during Damian Marleys ‘Welcome To Jamrock Cruise’.
