John Clayton Mayer was born October 16, 1977, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, and started playing guitar at 13 after being inspired by a Stevie Ray Vaughan tape his neighbor gave him. In 1998 he moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he refined his skills and gained a following.
In 2003, he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the 2002 single “Your Body Is a Wonderland” from the album Room for Squares.
In February 2005, he was awarded the Song of the Year Grammy for his song Daughters, which he composed while in the shower, from the album Heavier Things. In winning the award, he beat out such contenders as Alicia Keys, and Kanye West. He dedicated this award to his grandmother, Annie Hoffman, who died in May 2004. He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for which Elvis Costello, Prince and Seal were also nominated. In 2007, John won 2 Grammys, one for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for the song “Waiting On The World To Change,” and also Best Pop Vocal Album for his most recent album, Continuum.
To date, Mayer has toured with many groups, including Maroon 5, Guster, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Teitur, Ben Folds, and Sheryl Crow.
In 2004, Mayer worked with hip hop artist and producer Kanye West, appearing both on Go and Kanye West’s Bittersweet (released in the summer of 2007 as an iTunes pre-order bonus track to the album Graduation) and received praise from rap heavyweights like Jay-Z and Nelly.

i wonder if he wasn't handsome (or at least really good to look at) would you still love him like this?it's like everything he does look so perfect to you!! i know some of his work are good but noone can be this good.. i think most of the time it's not your ears or musical taste talking,it's your hormones!!

Just because he looks confident on stage doesn't mean he's a douche, i agree with boingocure you people are ridiculous..

@qbol1234 he couldn't even keep a beat. he looked like a complete douche up there ATTEMPTING to make a good sound. i've been playing guitar for six years now, and that was just pathetic, he didn't even play that solo well. he has good music, it's just that wasn't his best performance, and he looked like a complete tool.

Agree with qbol1234. JM for MJ, that's cool ! His guitar-only tribute to MJ was very respectful. I think John felt that his voice couldn't better than MJ's so that he just covered Human Nature by his beautiful Strato...

Omg, that's bullshit. First of all, who does really care for those facial expressions? Gosh, he's a musician. Well, um, ordinary guitar player? His compositions are great, everything he plays in fits perfectly, his music has a great feeling. And don't forget that he's a singer witha a GREAT voice. There aren't many peopele being both awesome guitarists and vocalist. What's more, he achieved a commercial success, so I bet he's loved by his fans. Is it jealousy, wheresmyjumper?

hahahahahahahaha Ah yes, three-odd minutes of awkward facial expressions and palpable self-importance and more than anything else, heroically ordinary guitar playing were the absolute height of entertainment. I hope he makes lots of money from the whole diabolical affair, and you all help him. The world doesn't have enough asshats with private jets, make it so!
