Coming to Leith Theatre from Dance Base in Edinburgh in August 2023, Aisha has spend eight years working in the creative and cultural sector in Scotland. She spent five years working as a team member in theatres, music venues and cinemas until she graduated with a BA Hons Degree in Journalism. Aisha has since worked in marketing and communications roles that allowed her to diversify her skills. Aisha’s contributions to the promotion of public dance classes, performances during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and year-round programme of artist support at Dance Base equipped her with a wealth of experience in arts industry marketing and communications.

She has established herself as a trusted writer within the music industry, writing for publications in Scotland and in London. She has been a freelance contributing writer for SNACK Magazine and has been scouted to take part in music conventions including Resonate in Glasgow. She is passionate about the Scottish music industry and supports grassroots projects that allow the sector to grow and develop.

Aisha is a life-long Leither who is inspired by the opportunity and cultural hub that Leith has to offer for the community, Edinburgh and Scotland. Plus, with the building’s sprung dance floor there’s no need to hang up her dancing shoes yet!
