Daniel Powter Biography

Daniel Powter creates music the way most people breathe -- it's simply what he does as a way of getting along. I write songs to make sense of the world around me says Powter a native of British Columbia now living in Los Angeles with his two young children. And that's how I've been since I was 10 years old long before anyone else was listening.
People started listening -- in the tens of millions -- in 2006 when Powter's song Bad Day became a worldwide smash one that Billboard named the top Hot 100 song of that year. Today Powter uses any number of metaphors to describe the experience. Obviously it was incredible -- a lightning-in-a-bottle moment says the singer-songwriter whose major-label debut single impacted across Europe and in Australia before taking off in the United States thanks in part to its prominent placement on American Idol. To have people all over the globe singing along to your music -- it's what every songwriter dreams of.
Looking back Powter can see that the weight of Bad Day eventually began to take its toll on his creative energy. It was a double-edged sword he admits. Kind of a blessing and a curse. I was touring the world and performing for thousands of people but I felt like the song was starting to define me. He laughs. I actually found myself getting almost angry about it. Powter even made a follow-up record that reflected some of those heavy feelings. Then I realized that the only person my anger was affecting was me.
