John Mayer
John Mayer was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on October 16, 1977. He grew up in Fairfield and had two siblings, one older and one younger. He used to play clarinet in middle school, but after watching Michael J. Fox's guitar performance in Back to the Future he wanted to play the guitar. His father rented him his first guitar at the age of 13. After that his neighbor gave him a Stevie Ray Vaughan cassette tape. When he was 17 he was struck with cardiac arrhythmia which sent him to the hospital for a few days. The night he got home from the hospital he started writing his first lyrics. Shortly after he started suffering from crippling panic attacks. After he graduated from high school he worked at a gas station until he saved up enough money to buy his own guitar.
