As a child, Mayer found his fascination towards the instrument that propelled him to success, the guitar, from Michael J. Fox's performance as Marty McFly in the classic hit-movie "Back to The Future". At 13, his father rented him a guitar and was given a Stevie Ray Vaughan cassette by his neighbor which drew his love for blues music. Soon after, he started taking guitar lessons from a local shop owner. At 17, after becoming hospitalized for a weekend, he expressed "That was the moment the songwriter in me was born", where he wrote his lyrics that night he left.
From high-school and college gigs, John Mayer found his breakout success with his 2001 breakout debut album "Room for Squares" that featured radio hits "Your Body Is a Wonderland", "No Such Thing", and "Why Georgia". The multi-platinum hit single "Your Body Is a Wonderland" won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2003.
His second studio record "Heavier Things" peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts, with the single "Daughters" receiving a Grammy for Song of The Year in 2005. As the years went by, he dropped "Continuum" which included fan-favorite and certified-platinum singles "Gravity" and "Waiting on the World to Change". In the following years he released his albums "Battle Studies", "Born and Raised", "Paradise Valley", The Search for Everything", and 2021's "Sob Rock".
His 2018 certified-platinum track "New Light" serves as his much-anticipated 2021 album Sob Rock's lead single.
