Aisha Jackson just took her final bow as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby, but if you think the multi-faceted performer is taking a break after her latest Broadway show, think again. Jackson is about to make her Carnegie Hall debut with The New York Pops: If I Ain’t Got You: The Best of R&B. The one-night-only concert will feature hits by music legends, including Marvin Gaye, Mariah Carey, and Prince (among others), as well as fellow powerhouse guest artist Avery Wilson.

1 Minute Critic caught up with Jackson as she prepares to step onto one of the world’s most iconic stages to talk about faith, representation, and the gift of music. Read the full interview here.
