I was so dyslexic as a kid, and still am, and music was such a great form of escape to me. At school I'd keep my head down and try not to get beat up, and then I'd get home and music would be like a drug to me.

Someone asked me if I play piano because I feel like I have a protective wall around me. Maybe. I am really messed up.

I just did whatever it took to keep making music - I slept on couches. You would be amazed at how far $20 can go if you stretch it out.

I didn't have to see this big clock on the wall and worry. Most of the record I made was experimental. If you have a lot of time to do that you don't have to worry about the money, plus, I had no money. It was more out of necessity than choice.
Daniel Powter
I gave up that idea of trying to make music that I thought other people would want. I just made music for myself and music for people that I knew.
Daniel Powter
I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.
