The duo's clean harmonies and romantic singles have anchored their steady rise since meeting in 2013.
For a good sense of their lane, try 'From The Ground Up' or 'Only Us' with Carrie Underwood. Both are pretty much what they do.
Dan + Shay's songs work because they keep things simple and direct. 'Party Girl' and 'Body Language' are both built around clear, uncomplicated hooks that stick. They've built a catalog of romantic country-pop that doesn't overcomplicate the feeling.
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney met at a Nashville songwriter's event in 2013. They released their debut album 'Where It All Began' the next year, which included early singles like '19 You + Me.' They've kept recording through some setbacks, like when Smyers dealt with a vocal cord injury in 2019.
