Who is John Mayer? / Facts
- He was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and raised in nearby Fairfield
- He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, but disenrolled and moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1997 with Clay Cook
- Together, they formed a short-lived two-man band called Lo-Fi Masters
- After their split, Mayer continued to play local clubs—refining his skills and gaining a following
- After his appearance at the 2001 South by Southwest Festival, he was signed to Aware Records, and then Columbia Records, which released his first EP, Inside Wants Out
- His following two full-length albums—Room for Squares (2001) and Heavier Things (2003)—did well commercially, achieving multi-platinum status
- In 2003, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the single "Your Body Is a Wonderland"
- Though Mayer started his career mainly performing acoustic rock, he began moving towards the blues genre that had originally influenced him as a musician
- By 2005, he was collaborating with blues artists such as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Eric Clapton
- Forming the John Mayer Trio, he released a live album in 2005 called Try!, and his third studio album Continuum in 2006
- Both albums received wide critical acclaim, and Continuum earned Mayer a 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album
- He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change"
- That album was followed by Battle Studies in 2009, a return to pop, with a number-one grossing tour
- After having several controversial incidents with the media, Mayer withdrew from public life in 2010 and began work on a follow-up album, called Born and Raised, that would draw inspiration from the 1970s pop music of Laurel Canyon
- However, the discovery of a granuloma on his vocal cords delayed the release of the album until May 2012, and ultimately forced him to cancel the planned tour
- Even so, the album enjoyed a generally favorable reception, though was less commercially successful than his previous work
- After extensive treatments for his vocal problems—and a two-year hiatus—Mayer began performing as a singer again in January 2013, and that year released the album, Paradise Valley
- The album is named for where he lives in Montana and features country music influences
- By 2014, he had sold a total of over 20 million albums worldwide
- After developing an interest in the Grateful Dead and connecting with Bob Weir, Mayer joined Dead & Company, who commenced a well-received tour of the Eastern U.S. that began in October 2015 and continue to tour in 2016
