John Clayton Mayer was born October 16, 1977, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, and started playing guitar at 13 after being inspired by the movie Back to the Future. 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 (which was never relased but a live version with a taping of Mayer’s vocal spot has surfaced) and received praise from rap heavyweights like Jay-Z and Nelly.

Best guitarist of his generation. Are there "similar artists" that have this same feel voor blues guitar, while not focussing on blues only? I can only think of Keaton Simons. Let me know if you have a tip!
