John Mayer

John Mayer is an American Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. John Clayton Mayer was born on October 16, 1977. Originally from Connecticut, he briefly attended Berklee College of Music before moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1998. John refined his skills here and began to gain fame. Initially, he performed acoustic rock. By 2005, John made a shift towards the blues genre with the formation of the John Mayer Trio.

The influence of the blue genre is evident on his latest studio album Continuum, which was released on September 12, 2006. Mayer won two Grammy awards for Pop Vocal Album for Continuum and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change" at the 49th Grammy Awards in February 2007.

Mayer's other interests include stand-up comedy, design, and writing; he has also written pieces for several magazines, most notably for Esquire.

Career
After playing the guitar for several years, Mayer enrolled in the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of nineteen. After two semesters, he left his studies to pursue his career with college friend and band mate, Clay Cook and moved to Atlanta,Georgia.

Recordings and Releases
With the help of Local Producer and Engineer Glenn Matullo, Mayer recorded the independent "EP Inside Wants Out". Cook is also cited as the co-writer of many of the songs from the EP. Among the most famous is Mayer's first commercial single release "No Such Thing." The EP includes only eight songs, all of them with Mayer on vocals and guitars. However, on the first track "Back to You", the complete band was enlisted, including the EP's co-producer David "De-La" LaBruyere on bass guitars. After this, they began to make local tours throughout Georgia and the suburbs.

Mayer has also played himself on various programs, including CSI, and most famously on Chappelle's Show. The TV comedy Family Guy referenced John Mayer in an episode. In a Volkswagen commercial (promoting the best-selling New Beetle), Mayer appeared playing a First Act guitar in a display of their new feature: outlets for an electric guitar, allowing it to play through the car's stereo.

Mayer appeared at the Pennsbury High School prom on May 14, 2004, in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia. A book called Wonderland by writer Michael Bamberger chronicles the high school's senior class president, a huge Mayer fan, and his school's quest for the ultimate prom. Rolling Stone magazine covered Mayer's prom performance, as did many national media outlets.

Mayer is apparently a fan of XM Satellite Radio's Ron and Fez and Opie and Anthony shows. Mayer stopped in unannounced to the Ron and Fez Show on June 14 to premiere his latest single, and then appeared on Opie and Anthony on July 26.
