(“john clayton mayer” (/ˈmeɪ.ər/; born ’16 october 1977′) is an american ‘singer-songwriter’, ‘guitarist’, and ‘record producer’)
(~7 years older than me)
(born in (‘bridgeport’ / ‘connecticut’), mayer attended ‘berklee college of music’ in ‘boston’, but ‘disenrolled’ and moved to ‘atlanta’ in ‘1997’ with ‘clay cook’)
(together, they formed a short-lived 2-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’)
(‘~age 24’)
(his following 2 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’)
(by 2005, mayer had moved away from the ‘acoustic music’ that characterized his early records, and begun performing the ‘blues’ and ‘rock music’ that had originally influenced him as a musician)
(he collaborated 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 3rd studio album continuum in ‘2006’)
(both albums received 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 ‘battle studies’ world tour)
(after having several ‘controversial incidents’ with the media, mayer withdrew from ‘public life’ in ‘2010’ and began work on his 5th studio album, born and raised, which drew 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 forced him to cancel the planned tour)
(the album received a generally favorable reception, though was less commercially successful than his previous work)
(mayer began performing as a ‘singer’ again in ‘january 2013’, and that year released his 6th studio album, paradise valley, which incorporates 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 formed ‘dead & company’ with 3 former ‘grateful dead’ musicians)
(the band’s performances have been well-received, with tours in ‘2015’, ‘2016’, ‘2017’, and ‘2018’)
(mayer’s secondary career pursuits extend to ‘television hosting’, ‘comedy’, and ‘writing’; he has authored columns for magazines such as ‘esquire’)
(he supports various ’causes’ and has performed at ‘charity benefits’)
.
(he is a ‘watch aficionado’ (with a collection he values in the “10s of millions” of dollars), contributing to the watch site hodinkee, and has been on the jury at the “grand prix d’horlogerie de genève”)
