my favorite singer

My favorite singer in this moment in time is John Mayer who was born on October sixteen nineteen seventy seven  in Bridgeport Connecticut, he is most famous for his hits such as 'your body is a wonderland' and 'waiting for the world to change' 'gravity', i remember the first time i heard and saw his video clip 'no such thing' which was in 2001 and thought he is someone who i wish will have a promising music career, and so far he has done just that. in 2003 he won his first Grammy awards for best male pop vocal and he bettered  it 2006 where he not only  bagged the 49th annual Grammy awards for best male pop vocal performance but also best pop vocal album of the year.

His album 'Continuum' continues to best work for me personally, not just because of what he achieved professionally or because it is the first John Mayer i bought album but there was a significant growth and maturity musically and lyrically with 'Continuum' compared to the previous two albums, songs like the hits 'waiting on the world to change' 'slow dancing in a burning room' and 'gravity' has generated a lot of praise and received a lot of attention locally and internationally.

To me his music was and still is the type of music you listen to during long drives on highways on a rainy day or  before you go to bed after a tough day at work, it is purely relaxing and most of his lyrics are inspiring and well written, witty with a touch humor, he usually touches on life, love, relationships and sometimes even politics, and funny how he has the ability to effortlessly write lyrics which make people say 'that is how i feel' sometimes when i rewind back and i can still remember his the sound coming from his guitar to his unique voice to his college undergraduate look just like it was yesterday.
