Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney are brimming with talent, and while they credit each other with helping their collaboration as Dan + Shay work so well, Shay shares that the musical seeds in his life were planted by his family.

He says, “I did come from a very musical family, pretty much everyone in my whole family…extended family everybody does something in music it was great growing I mean there were so many people that I looked up to musically that were so much better than me and I think that obviously helped me get where I wanted to be because there was so many people who were amazing at music thanks family for that.”

Fans can’t wait for the guys to hit the road – as their The (Arena) Tour kicks off in September in South Carolina.

Dan + Shay’s latest track, “Glad You Exist” is now a Top-10 (and climbing) hit…
