Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Powter was in his mid-30s when he skyrocketed to fame alongside his go-to hat.
His 2005 hit song, “Bad Day,” topped the music charts for five consecutive weeks, becoming a memorable anthem of the time. Daniel wrote the catchy hook of the song while on a ferry ride between Vancouver and Victoria, a moment of inspiration that led to his breakthrough single.
“Bad Day” gained further popularity when it was heavily featured during the fifth season of “American Idol.” Powter also performed the song live at the show’s final in 2006, cementing his place in pop music history.
