How Dan + Shay met
The duo, who will be coaches on The Voice on Season 25, was formed after Shay met Dan at the latter's Nashville house party on December 7, 2012.
"I was living in a terrible house; it was the worst house of all time," Dan recalled to The Boot.
"Shay came over with a buddy. We started singing together, singing cover songs, and making stuff up on the spot.
"It was about four in the morning, and we were like, ‘We should write together.'
"At first, we were just two writers trying to get a publishing deal, to do whatever we had to do in this town."
Shay also remembered: "It was the magic in the room.
"It was cool to finally have that moment where, when we met and started writing, it was finally the country music we had tried to be writing separately."
In April 2014, Dan + Shay released their debut studio album Where It All Started.
