Mayer's talent and dedication to his craft quickly became apparent, and he began to gain recognition as a rising star in the classical music world. In 2005, Mayer won first prize at the International Piano Competition in Vienna, which launched his career as a soloist. He went on to perform at some of the world's most prestigious concert halls, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Berlin Philharmonic.
