Dan + Shay's Shay Mooney Talks New Music, T-Pain & Why a Music Duo is Like a Marriage

One-half of the Grammy Award-winning duo Dan + Shay, Shay Mooney joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for an honest, funny, and surprisingly down-to-earth conversation about music, friendship, and why country music is having a major moment. Shay takes us back to the beginning, sharing the origin story of Dan + Shay, the making of their latest album, and what fans can expect from The Young Tour. He also explains why being in a music duo is a lot like being in a marriage and why that relationship has been the foundation of their success. We also dive into why farming is cool again, why Shay once lived with T-Pain winning Grammy Awards and what he actually does with the trophies, his Mount Rushmore of Country Music, his unexpected passion for mowing grass, and his love of antiques and his hilarious business idea: Tique Talk. Whether you're a longtime Dan + Shay fan or just discovering Shay's story, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of country music's biggest stars and the humble values that continue to keep him grounded.
