Dan + Shay React To ‘10,000 Hours’ Success

Cody Alan said that Dan + Shay’s entrance into his interview was like watching a “Bull in a China shop.”

Off-camera, the three clowned around after Dan Smyer's duo partner, Shay Mooney, accidentally kicked over Cody’s light stand. Moments later, Shay was breaking things again by fumbling with his microphone. (We estimate that Shay has held a microphone well over 10,000 hours which according to journalist Malcolm Gladwell should make him an expert.)

Regardless of the time spent holding a microphone, Dan + Shay have indeed found success with their Justin Bieber duet, ‘10,000 Hours.’ Watch the video below to see what the duo has to share.

“It’s crazy! You know? You hope that songs do well,” says Shay. “You hope that things take off.”

“When you are in the studio, you try and write the best songs that you possibly can,” Shay continued to explain. “We go into knowing what our fans like, and we have been on the road for a couple of years, and we know what they want to hear. It’s been cool to see their response!”
