Who are Laela Dasher and Max Dasher from American Idol?

Laela Dasher and Max Dasher are siblings who are taking their musical talents to the American Idol stage. The brother-sister duo auditioned for season 22 of the show. But, just who are they exactly? Learn more about Laela and Max below, including their ages, musical genres, background and family life. 



Meet Max Dasher from American Idol

Max Dasher is Laela’s younger brother. He is a high school senior from Swannanoa, North Carolina. Max plays football and enjoys singing. He appears to be into folk, Americana and country music, judging from his covers on social media.

He does also dabble in Christian music though. Max even wrote a song at The Worship Initiative in Dallas, Texas, which is featured on the album Psalms from the Well. He’s originally from Black Mountain, NC. He often posts covers of songs by artists like Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves, but Max also doesn’t shy away from pop artists like Justin Bieber, either. 

When he’s not singing, the 18-year-old musician enjoys playing guitar, traveling, snowboarding and hanging out with his girlfriend Annabelle Harrison. 


Meet Laela Dasher from American Idol

Laela Dasher is Max’s older sister. She is currently in college at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Laela is recently a newlywed, marrying husband Dawson Skinner on New Year’s Eve 2023. They were high school sweethearts. She grew up playing music with her brother, Max. But, nowadays, Laela’s musical genres have broadened. 

She is part of a Christian group called LO (Live Original) Worship, which was founded by her cousin Sadie Robertson Huff. You may know Sadie from the popular TV show Duck Dynasty (which makes Phil Robertson Laela and Max’s uncle). LO Worship’s extended play (EP) “Steady Light” has over 1 million streams on Spotify. The song “Open” has over 6.5 million streams. LO followed up their success with two live albums and an album of seven new songs.

When she’s not making music, the 20-year-old singer enjoys hanging out with friends, hiking and sharing photos and videos on her social media pages. 


Laela and her brother Max make up Dasher, the band. You can follow them on Instagram. Catch Max Dasher and Laela Dasher on season 22 of American Idol, airing Sundays at 8 PM on ABC. You can also stream the next day on Hulu.
