Usually when the name Daniel Powter is mentioned, it's in the context of his mega-hit Bad Day.
The piano-led pop song was released in 2005 and topped almost every chart around the world. It was dubbed 'one of the great discoveries of the year' by Billboard magazine in 2006.
The BBC recently revealed that Bad Day was the most played song in Britain during 2003 to 2008, beating songs by far better known stars such as Oasis, U2 and Arctic Monkey.
The track's surprising success catapulted the 37-year-old singer-songwriter into the limelight. But the reluctant star feels distanced from the track that brought him fame.
'Bad Day is not my song anymore,' he says. 'It's getting so big that it's taking on its own life force now, and I feel disconnected from it.'
Three years after his last record, Powter has released his third album Under The Radar, trying to shake off the 'one-hit wonder' tag. But although he is responsible for the second best-selling digital single of all time, he feels no pressure to live up to other people's expectations.
'My only responsibility is to communicate and to connect with people with enticing melodies and lyrics that people can relate to,' he says.
