John Mayer called my cell phone three times before i finally picked up…

I was on my lunch break, from my part time job, sitting in my silver 2002 Honda Civic, in the Panda Express parking lot - engine off. Working through some general tso’s chicken and stale rice. I was having a rough Tuesday.

It was beginning to feel like my dreams of becoming a professional musician in Los Angeles were drifting out of reach. In truth I had only moved to LA from Michigan a few months prior, but I was really struggling to find my way in this huge city.

Not many gigs or opportunities in sight.And now here I was, seeing this 212 area code number light up my screen, for the third time that day. I thought man - this bill collector really is persistent, so let’s get it over with…“He-llooo” (heavy sarcasm)

“Is this Tim Fagan?”“Uh - yeah - who’s this”“

This is John Mayer — “

...John Mayer then starting singing a song in my ear…the melody of which I recognized immediately - because I wrote it.

I quickly sat up, spitting rice on my shirt, and did what anyone would do - sang along with him.

See, a month earlier I had entered John’s songwriting contest, something he had casually announced in his column for Esquire magazine. It was a call to all songwriters - amateur and professionals alike, to compose and record original music, set to a batch of his unpublished lyrics.

From the 2,212 entrants, he selected my recording as the winner. And he was calling to tell me himself. And he wouldn’t settle for leaving a voicemail. He mentioned how much he’d enjoyed my guitar work and the touch of blues I used to underscore his lyrics, we talked shop a bit, and he told me about what he was currently working on in the studio.

Then he asked what paint finish I wanted on my new JM signature strat (the model wasn’t even in stores yet). I went with sunburst, and needless to say it’s a gorgeous guitar ....And he entitled the article “Tim Fagan is a Winner.”That very moment jump-started my professional career. I put out my version of our song “Deeper” on my EP Out of the Dark, and at the CD release party was introduced to someone named Colbie Caillat. She and I became friends, and later I would tour the world as her guitarist and band leader.

In spare moments backstage I co-wrote “Lucky” with Colbie and Jason Mraz. The song went on to become an international hit, winning a Grammy for best Pop Duet.

And later that year, guess who called on Colbie and her band to be his opening act for the whole summer? John Mayer. Talk about coming full circle, huh?

Oh, one last thing…When I got off the phone with John that day, I sat there in my Honda Civic, stunned. Just buzzing in silence.

After a couple minutes staring out the window, I opened up my Panda Express fortune cookie.It said this - and I swear I’m not making this up, it still gives me chills to this day:

“Opportunity is knocking on your door - answer it.”
