We might have last heard of him as Jen Aniston’s long-time partner and Taylor Swift’s unconfirmed ex-beau but it is still evident that John Mayer is a blessing to the music industry due to his meaningful tracks and irrefutable talent.
With a strong affinity for his guitar, John Mayer took the whole music planet by storm by singing songs that speak of maturity, daily battles in life and being able to overcome it and the obliterating oblivion by exposing yourself to the harms of life in general.
Born John Clayton Mayer in the glorious year of 1977, this American singer slash songwriter slash producer has extended how great music is to him. He worked wonders into flipping different genres such as blues, folk, rock, country, soul and mainstream pop into a John Mayer revamped version.
Started out as an avid fan of artists such as Michael J. Fox, Freddie and Albert King and Lightnin’ Hopkins, John Mayer is known to have played songs with the guidance of his talent in guitar playing.
The gifted artist has continued to pursue and enrich his music ventures by being a student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston of 1997.
Mayer first tried out to be a part of a duo called LoFi Masters with college buddy Clay Cook and escaped the halls of education two semesters after he started studying for a college degree.
As how a budding musician would want to expose himself, LoFi Masters then started doing gigs and performance venues.
From his rise to shine in 1999 up until his last studio album released in 2013, John Mayer have been prolific in making his music known by establishing six strong strings of albums—Room For Squares in 2001, Heavier Things in 2003, Continuum in 2006, Battle Studies in 2009, Born and Raised in 2012 and Paradise Valley just two years ago.
Generally, it is the first two albums that jolted Mayer’s success all continuing with carrier and top notch singles such as No Such Thing, Your Body is a Wonderland, Back To You, Neon, City Love (Room For Squares, 4,484,000 copies sold) and Heavier Things tracks such as Clarity, Bigger than My Body, Daughters and Split Screen Madness.
Heavier Things have generally been an effective follow-up as it has been reviewed to have highlighted the singer’s songwriting and influential music be displayed at its finest.
During his entire career, John Mayer has received well and fair awards and accolades from respected music outfits. It is no wonder why it is just difficult to forget how great and awesome John Mayer is, especially now that uprising singers are being honest about pegging their styles on him.
The Grammy Awards have recognized John Mayer’s musicality by putting 7 wins on his belt for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2003, Song of the Year for Daughters in 2005, Best Pop Vocal Album for Continuum in 2007, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the song Say in 2009 and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for Gravity, same year.
As of current writing, Mayer is signed up with Columbia Records and is rumored to start a tour in October with a group from where he now belonged called Dead & Company. An emotionally charged album is also said to be released over the next months and Mayer fans should await a meaningful comeback.
