Organic Artist John Mayer



        An example of an organic artist is John Mayer. He starts playing guitar with the age of 7. And released his first album called “room for Square” when he was 24 years old. In all of his songs, he claims that he has involved in producing them and most of the guitar solos are written by him. 
            In his first album he was represented as a new up-coming star with the music style of pop-rock. By means because it was his first album and no one has heard of him at that time, so he was represented not just through his music but his look as well, however, his first hit single was the song called “your body is a Wonderland” which became a massive hit after 2 months of the album released . 
            After the success of receiving many awards from the first album he then released his second album called “Heavier things” he then quickly recognised by the ability of his guitar skills, which again lead to many awards norminations and he then won several of them including "Song of the year" and "Best male pop vocal performance". 
           After his success in his second album, he then released the third album called "Continuum" which he described that it's the first album that he could really related and expressed himself through the music. The reason for this is that his icon since he was a kid is Stevie Ray Vaughan and Stevie is well-known for Blues music and in this album John has a chance to produce Blues-rock genre such as the song called "Gravity" which again won the "best rock vocal performance" award. Prior to the released of the Continuum John Has changed his look from the pop young male artist to the Blues-rock type which does not really care about his look rather than that he put all the interest into his music.
