, in the Okanagan-Shuswap
region of British Columbia
. As a child, Powter played the violin
. He changed to piano
after a group of children bullied him and destroyed his violin. A dyslexic, Powter had trouble in university studying music, and later dropped out in order to pursue his own musical career, learning all songs by ear and recording new melodies that he created.

..
Powter's first single, "Bad Day
", was first released in Europe
in mid 2005, in advance of his second album, Daniel Powter
. Warner Bros. Records
submitted the single for commercial production, and it was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola
as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, peaking at number three on the overall European airplay chart. It reached number one on national airplay in Germany
, number one on the singles charts in the Republic of Ireland
and Italy
, number two in the United Kingdom
,—where it stayed in the top ten for thirteen weeks—and number three in Australia
.
In the United States
, "Bad Day" was used extensively on the television series American Idol
in its fifth season
. Powter sang the song live at the end of the final show of that season on May 23, 2006. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100
, Adult Top 40 and Adult Contemporary
charts, making Powter the first solo Canadian male artist to top the Hot 100 since Bryan Adams
in 1995 (with "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
"). The song also reached number one in Powter's homeland of Canada.

magazine's song of the year in 2006. At the 2007 Grammy Awards, Powter received a Best Male Pop Vocal Performance nomination for the song.
The subsequent singles from Daniel Powter – "Jimmy Gets High
", "Free Loop
", and "Lie to Me" – were released in different parts of the world, each failing to match the success of "Bad Day". "Free Loop" was deemed chart ineligible in the UK (as the release included a version of "Bad Day" as a B-side whilst "Bad Day" was still in the chart, hence breaking chart rules) and failed to chart in the U.S., though it reached the top forty on the Adult Contemporary chart. Following the release of "Lie to Me", "Jimmy Gets High" was to be the fourth single from the album in the UK, but its release was cancelled. A new track called "Love You Lately
" was released as the next U.S. single, preceding a re-release of the album Daniel Powter that was also cancelled.
In March 2008, a song by Japanese singer Haru featuring Powter, "Find My Way", was released. In September, Powter released his third album, Under the Radar. This was the same year in which he embarked on the Wolfbaggin' Tour, joining the likes of Alphabeat
and Lil Chris.
Powter also performed piano on tracks for what was scheduled to be Marcy Playground
frontman John Wozniak
's solo album, Leaving Wonderland...in a fit of rage
, but the album will now be released under the band's name. Powter will still be given credit for his contributions to the song "Gin and Money".
In December 2009, Powter was named as the decade's top One-Hit Wonder by Billboard. The magazine describes one-hit wonder
s as acts whose second hit did not reach the top 25; they only included acts from 2000 to 2007. Powter's notoriety is unmistakable, since "Bad Day" is his only Hot 100 hit.
On January 1, 2010, he performed 'O Canada' at the NHL Winter Classic
.
