Daniel Richard Powter (born February 25, 1971) is a Canadian recording artist, songwriter, and pianist. He is best known for his self-penned hit song "Bad Day" (2005), which spent five weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Powter was the only solo artist to register a #1 hit in that year without previously having had another song chart in the Hot 100.
Powter grew up in Vernon, in the Okanagan-Shuswap region of British Columbia. As a child, Powter played the violin at the age of 4. He changed to piano at 10 years old after a group of children bullied him and destroyed his violin. Suffering from dyslexia, 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. He started writing songs when he was 13 years old.
Powter released his first EP, I'm Your Betty, in 2000. The album, limited to a very small print, contains ten songs, two of which—"More Than I" and "Negative Fashion"—were featured on the television show Higher Ground.

It's been a bad day, another bad day and all I want to do is look at you and know I'm okay.
From where I'm sittin' these shoes ain't fittin' and I'm walkin' backwards, lookin' down, don't see the sky I see the ground.
Above, below you look and so you wonder, where the time has gone of lookin' up, tomorrow's on the way.
Above, below you look and so you say, "When I wake up in the mornin' is it 'gonna be another ugly day?"
She sits in church, it's 2 pm and look whose back from work again.
I guess they thought your better off, without this life, without a job.
From where I'm sittin' these shoes ain't fittin' and I'm goin' nowhere, killin' time, just tryin' to feed my bleedin' mind.
Above, below you look and so you wonder, where the time has gone of lookin' up, tomorrow's on the way.
Above, below you look and so you say, "When I wake up in the mornin' is it 'gonna be another ugly day?"
It's been a bad day, another bad day and I cross my heart and hope to die, these dreams of yours are 'gonna fly.
Above, below you look and so you wonder, where the time has gone of lookin' up, tomorrows on the way.
Above, below you look and so you say, "When I wake up in the mornin' is it 'gonna be another ugly day?"
Another ugly day?
Another ugly day?
