1971年2月25日，Daniel Powter出生于加拿大不列颠哥伦布省的Okanagan Valley地区。在仅四岁的时候，Daniel Powter就开始在母亲的钢琴伴奏下学习练习小提琴。天资聪慧，进步神速的Daniel Powter不久之后就可以在学校举办的活动中演出，但这同时也招来了他一些同学的嫉妒。在有一次提着小提琴经过学校操场的时，Daniel Powter受到了一群人的围攻，这次事件严重打击了Daniel Powter对音乐的热情。因为患有诵读困难症，Daniel Powter还遭到了老师的侮辱，而在这之后，Daniel Powter再也没有碰过小提琴。
再次勾起Daniel Powter音乐热情的是家中父母收藏的The Beatles和Fleetwood Mac乐队的唱片，而杜兰·杜兰（Duran Duran）和王子（Prince）的音乐更是能令他感动。被这些丰富的音乐所打动的Daniel Powter开始试着学习弹钢琴，而他也一下就被这种“能够同时奏出多种音色”的乐器所着迷。依靠每天如痴如醉的练习，Daniel Powter的钢琴技艺进步神速，但直到临近中学毕业，Daniel Powter才和他的乐队首次演出。在由于诵读困难而辍学两年之后，Daniel Powter自己选择上了Edmonton的Grant MacEwan学院学习音乐。在搬到温哥华之后，Daniel Powter结识了音乐道路上一位真正的伙伴杰夫·多森（Jeff Dawson）。志同道合的两人合作创作了多首歌曲并开始了和诸多热爱音乐的年轻人同样的工作：自费录制小样，到唱片公司自荐。在经历了漫长的等待之后，Daniel Powter终于得到Warner Bros公司主席Tom Whalley的赏识而成功签约。
2005年，Daniel Powter的首张同名个人专辑《Daniel Powter》终于面世，主打单曲《Bad Day》多个国家的流行音乐排行榜上都取得了不错的成绩。2005年夏，Daniel Powter参加了由鲍勃·吉尔道夫（Bob Geldof）组织的大型扶贫义演Live 8柏林站的演出。2006年3月，《Bad Day》在美国Billboard Hot 100专辑榜中首次夺冠。4月11日，Daniel Powter的首张个人专辑《Daniel Powter》在美国发行。
where is the moment when we need it the most
you kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
you tell me your blue sky 's faded to grey
you tell me your passions is gonna away
and i don;t need no carry on
Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life 's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carrying on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out
Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that
Strong
Well I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You see what you like
One more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
