2005年,Daniel Powter带着他的冠军歌曲Bad Day如飓风般席卷了欧美各大排行榜。今年34岁的Daniel Powter可谓是15年磨一剑的坚忍典范。自幼酷爱音乐的他,富有才情却在音乐生涯上处处碰壁,直到32岁才和唱片公司签约。
Daniel Powter出生于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的小城Vernon。受邀参加过Live 8(柏林分场)大型演唱会。2004年,单曲Bad Day首次曝光于法国的一条可口可乐的宣传广告,之后立即引起轰动。Daniel的同名处女专辑由他与制作人Mitchell Froom和Jeff Dawson共同完成。专辑中包括10首曲目,首首精致动听。主打单曲Bad Day是一首舒心的流行作品,简约的钢琴伴奏缓缓飘入耳际,Daniel清新高亢的歌声不时穿插着假声转换,显得具有力度而又不失流畅感。
除了流行的Pop元素外,Daniel还尝试将Funk、Soul、Rock巧妙地融为一炉,打造新鲜而富有感染力的新声音。
