在加拿大湖光山色中長大的丹尼爾，人生其實並非一帆風順。4歲稚齡開始學習小提琴，卻為此受到霸凌而改彈起鋼琴；曾一度在大學主修音樂，又因閱讀障礙被迫休學，索性開始發展個人音樂事業；雖然擁有絕佳音樂能力與創作才華，仍苦熬多年才被世界看見。幸好命運之神終究眷顧他，首支正式單曲「壞天氣Bad Day」發表如平地一聲雷，以迅雷不及掩耳速度於全球40個國家排行榜登頂，同時搭上選秀節目【美國偶像】第 5 季聲量，寫下美國史上首支200萬次數位下載單曲紀錄，告示牌雜誌封為『年度歌曲』；同名專輯“Daniel Powter＂順勢開出一片紅盤，順利摘下家鄉加拿大朱諾獎『年度最佳新人』！其後丹尼爾陸續推出“墜入琴網Under the Radar＂、“留一盞燈Turn On The Lights＂等專輯，一共誕生「管不住的音符Free Loop」、「現在．依然愛你Love You Lately」、「擁抱全世界Whole World Around」、「最好的我Best of Me」，與「壞天氣Bad Day」並稱五大必聽名曲。直到現在，每月全球串流平台仍有超過200萬粉絲愛聽丹尼爾的真摯嗓音，他也持續以現場演唱回報歌迷的熱情，光是台灣專場演唱會就舉辦4次之多！

15年磨一剑的坚忍音乐诗人——DanielPowter
爱把两个原本不相干的人，以及他们的喜怒哀乐从此紧紧地系在一起。如果会带来心动的相遇是一场劫难，但愿我们的生命线永不相交，但若爱是人生的转机，又怎可轻易让它溜走？听DanielPowter感性、诗意、动人的音乐，就像在听一位长久“在路上”的诗人吟唱他的内心世界。或许他就是曾与我们在街头、亦或地铁站内擦肩而过的行者，喜欢随遇而安，时刻用音乐记录着所看到、所感受到的一切。外表看上去忧伤的他，怀着一种坚定而感恩的心活着，内心是快乐的。
DanielPowter，这位加拿大的吟唱诗人，这位集所有特殊风格、才华。以及天真和嘲讽于一身的北国年轻人，出生于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的小城费农（Vernon），自幼酷爱音乐，学习拉小提琴。他苦涩的奋斗过程充满了辛酸——勤勉的创作、演奏音乐、四处奔波联系唱片公司、不停的吃闭门羹。2004年，他15年的不懈努力终于结出了硕果，单曲bad day一经曝光，立即征服全欧，然后红遍美洲，更成功地攻占日本以及全球音乐市场。
Daniel的同名处女专辑在2005年8月发行，由他与制作人Mitchell Froom和Jeff dawson共同完成。专辑包括10首单曲，首首精致动听。除了流行的Pop元素外，Daniel还尝试将Funk(疯客)，Soul（骚灵），Rock（摇滚）巧妙的融为一炉，打造新鲜而富有感染力的音乐。首张专辑在全球发行短短数月，便已创下大破百万张的销售记录。主打单曲bad day连续十周占据瑞士单曲榜冠军宝座，如旋风般地在法国电台创下点播的奇迹，奖金两个月蝉联榜首，更在法国当地掀起一股DanielPowter热潮。Daniel因此获得加拿大朱诺(Juno)奖“最佳新人”头衔、MTV欧洲音乐奖“最佳新人”以及2006全英音乐奖“最具突破性国际艺人”双项提名，成为2006年度夕阳乐坛的新人王。

This enhanced single features the title track backed with 'Song 6' (Live In Vienna For Hit Radio 03), 'Bad Day' (Live In Vienna For Hit Radio 03) & the video. Warner. 2005.

最近在shuffle里狂听Daniel Powter ，在路上，在地铁上，感觉这人就像一个永远在路上的诗人，随遇而安，只可惜他不能随时把钢琴带在身上，很期待看到夏天的DIANEL，大热天他总不见得还老戴绒线帽吧~
总之，这是一张反复听也不容易审美疲劳的专辑，严重推荐Free Loop，Bad Day，Lost on the stoop

When Daniel Powter hunkered down in a Los Angeles recording studio with producer Linda Perry earlier this year to make his new album Under the Radar, he had no idea what kind of music would result. “I knew the songs were good,” the former violinist-turned-singer-songwriter and pianist says, “but I didn’t know there would be so much guitar. I didn’t know some of it was going to be electronic. I didn’t know it would have strings. But Linda has such an incredible versatility with music, and she had all these ideas. I just had to get out of her way and let it all unfold.” A singer-songwriter and musician herself who has worked career-makeover magic with Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera, Linda Perry is known for her brutal honesty and for cajoling artists to look inside and dig deep emotionally. On Under the Radar, she pulls the performance of a lifetime out of Powter. “Linda was like a therapist,” Powter recalls. “I cried in that studio, and she cried. There was frustration because she demanded a lot from me as a songwriter and performer. But she’s a kind, caring, wonderful, and very emotional woman. If you want to make music with her, you have to learn how to take an ass-kicking, and I think that’s what helped me. It was a cathartic experience.” The tough-love was just what he needed after the whirlwind of the previous two years. When Warner Bros. Records released Powter’s self-titled album in Europe in 2005, Powter watched his career skyrocket as its lead-off track, the irresistibly catchy “Bad Day,” became the most-played song in Europe that year, peaking at No. 1 on national airplay charts in the U.K., Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, and Norway. It also hit No. 1 in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and went Top 5 in Italy, Austria, Sweden, Brazil, Finland, and South Africa. The album was certified platinum in Japan, the U.K., Ireland, France, and Switzerland, and gold in Australia, Canada, Singapore, and Taiwan. Encouraged by its stunning international success, Warner Bros. Records released Daniel Powter in the U.S., where it debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at No. 9 thanks to “Bad Day” — by now an unstoppable juggernaut that eventually became the best-selling digital single of all-time in the U.S., selling nearly 2.5 million downloads. “Bad Day” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks and earned Powter a 2007 Grammy Award nomination for “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.” Three follow-up singles were released — “Free Loop,” “Jimmy Gets High,” and “Lie to Me” — eventually pushing global sales of Daniel Powter to more than 2.7 million copies. A fourth single, the live favorite “Love You Lately,” reached the Top 10 in several countries and appears as a bonus track on Under the Radar. Highly in demand to perform around the world, Powter hit the road for an international tour. But after the seemingly endless string of media appearances and touring ceased, Powter found himself emotionally depleted. “I was really burned out,” he says. “I didn’t know where the music was going to come from. I didn’t think I had a lot to say.” He decided to hole up alone in a small studio in Los Angeles to see what might happen. Within two weeks, “Best of Me,” “Whole World Around,” “Am I Still the One,” and “Not Coming Back” came pouring out of him. “I just fell in love with the songwriting process again,” he says. ”Once I sat down at the piano, I felt really comfortable.” If the previous album (initially recorded in a tiny apartment in Vancouver) was about Powter trying to discover what kind of voice he had, Under the Radar is the sound of an artist stretching creatively, refining that voice, and coming into his own. “Linda wanted to make an ‘artist’ record,” Powter says. “And I think that’s what we’ve done.” “Best of Me” sets the tone immediately: “It’s basically saying, ‘Take me for who I am or leave me for who I am, but this is the best of me,’” Powter says. “That was the first song we recorded and it opened the door to me getting over myself. Once we got that out of the way, things started to flow and everything became much easier.” Other album highlights include the first single “Next Plane Home,” “Whole World Around,” and “Am I Still The One?” (on which Perry makes a very rare vocal appearance). Through it all, the music affirms Powter’s love for classic pop songwriting, complete with unforgettable melodies and anthemic choruses. It also expands his previously piano-driven sonic palette by blending in chunky guitars, electronic flourishes, and sweeping strings. “As a singer-songwriter, I have a responsibility to communicate and connect with people,” Powter says, “and for me, melody speaks louder than words so that’s where I go with things, but I think a lot of people will relate to the lyrics. I just can’t wait for people to hear these new songs. I’m hungry to get back out on the road because I have this amazing, honest record to back me up!” Warner Bros. Records will release Under the Radar in Europe in September and in the U.S. in early 2009.
