Heart Like a Hero - Lashaya Meyers, Keys and Vocals

Lashaya Meyers is a 20-year-old mother whose hobby is to sing and play the keyboard. When her husband, Josh, asked her to join his band as a bass guitarist in 2007, she accepted. She switched to playing the keyboard and singing vocals when she joined her current band Heart Like a Hero. Heart Like a Hero is a local band based out of the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. Josh, her husband screams vocals and plays the lead guitar. The other band members are: Kyle who rocks the drums, Brian who sings and plays guitar and Tom who strums the bass guitar.

Meyers favorite thing about the band is playing shows and seeing the crowd enjoy something that they have worked so hard on. She would love to play music for a living and this is her plan. However, she feels that they have to become famous first to do this. If playing music doesn’t work out, she has a backup plan to be a full-time mother because she loves her daughter. The band practices at least one night a week when they don’t have a show to prepare for. If they have to play a show they try to practice more. That is one of her least favorite things about being in the band, not enough time to practice.

When Meyers was asked to give advice to someone who wanted to start a band she said, “You have to be dedicated and you need to find a good singer because that is 80 percent of what people listen to.”
