John Mayer


Hello readers, today I am going to speak about a famous American singer songwriter John Mayer. He recently celebrated his birthday on the 16th of October which was one of the reasons as to why I chose to write about him. Also with EDM being the latest genre of music introduced, we should not forget other types of music like Blues Rock, Acoustic and Blue Eyed Soul to name a few.

John Mayer was born in Connecticut, USA in 1977. At the age of 13 he became so fascinated with the guitar that he took lessons from a local guitar shop owner. He started of his musical career with his college friend Clay Cook. After few years they both parted ways because of the musical differences between them. He was mainly into Acoustic Rock, but gradually shifted to Blues and further shifted to Pop Rock.  

Till date he has released 6 studio albums and he also collaborated with artists like B.B.King, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton together called as the “John Mayer Trio” to release their live album “Try!” He was also invited by Steve Jobs to perform at the Apple’s annual Keynote address at the Macworld Conference and Expo in 2004.

Mayer also performed at a number of benefits for charity throughout his career. To add to it he has maintained 4 blogs, his posts often deal with career oriented matters, it also contains jokes, videos, photos etc. He also hosted a one- shot half hour comedy show titled “John Mayer has a TV Show”.

He won many Grammy awards including Best Male Pop/Rock Vocal Performance in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009. He won a Grammy for Song of the year for “Daughters” (#1 on billboard hot 100) in 2005. Furthermore he went on to win the Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the year for “Continuum” in 2007. He was nominated at several other award shows and went on to win it as well.

John Mayer wasn’t only scoring the awards but he was also scoring the hottest ladies in Hollywood too. He has dated Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Rumor has it that he has also been eyeing Jennifer Lawrence. I would like to end this by suggesting you guys some of my favorite John Mayer Tracks “Half of my heart”, “Who says”and “Paper doll”.
