Daniel Bedingfield explains where he's been since "traumatic" early success | Smooth Radio

Daniel Bedingfield was one of the most successful British singers of the early 2000s.

With his massive garage number-one hit 'Gotta Get Thru This' in 2001, Daniel burst onto the music scene as a DIY producer, making music from his bedroom at a time years before artists could do it themselves in the world of streaming and social media.

A year later, he continued this success with more hits, including the timeless ballad 'If You're Not the One'.

But by the mid-2000s, Daniel had retreated from the media glare, while also recovering from a near-fatal car accident.

With fans hoping he would eventually release a new album in the following years, Daniel only made the occasional appearances. This included a stint as a judge on X Factor New Zealand, releasing an EP in 2012, and briefly appearing in War of the Worlds in the West End.

Thankfully, he's finally back and embarking on a mini UK tour in April 2024, celebrating 20 years of his debut album.

Smooth's Jenni Falconer caught up with Daniel about the tour, what he's been up to, his sister Natasha, and what fans can expect next.
