Daniel Powter grew up in Vernon, in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia. With few local musical influences, he credits his early exposure to music to his mother who was a pianist and took her son on long distance trips to see artists like Prince perform in Vancouver.
"Bad Day" achieved heavy airplay in most European countries and made it as high as #3 on the overall European airplay chart. The song has been recently featured on a commercial in the UK where it peaked at #2 in the singles chart and stayed in the top 10 for 13 weeks. In the United States, the song peaked at #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 seven weeks after it was released. "Bad Day" reached top five in Canada and is now a top 10 hit at Adult Top 40 radio.
