In 2005, A.J. Barrera was becoming largely sought after in the entertainment industry; doing readings for well-known musicians, singers, actors and actresses. Due to his amazing credibility and reputation, the media coined him as” The Medium to the Rock Stars” and “Celebrity Psychic Medium to the Stars.”

Being the youngest Medium in the industry has caused both skepticism and wonder. And now at age 26, A.J is inevitably prepared to answer the one question people are so fascinated to understand; “When did you discover your psychic abilities?”

It all began when A.J. Barrera was in the sixth grade. Seeing psychics and fortune tellers on TV caused both disbelief and curiosity. Soon he found himself practicing with a deck of Tarot Cards, determined to prove (to himself and others) that so-called “psychics and mediums” can’t possibly connect to the Other Side. On the contrary, he discovered an interpretation of his own for each tarot card he studied.

Once A.J. realized he had a unique ability to identify with the tarot, he began using them to describe personal information of fellow peers, as well as predictions of future events.

His journey took an even greater turn in high school when his teacher Ellen Marron, a medium herself, noticed his gift and quickly became his mentor. Marron took A.J. underneath her wing and continued to help guide him in his journey of understanding, as well as help him to appreciate his abilities. Once. A.J. began assisting others with guidance; he naturally began to develop his abilities on his own; finally understanding what he had been tapping into for so long.

 A.J. Barrera’s journey has not only aided in his own self discovery, but has continuously helped others with a simple realization, "Empowerment is not something that is given to you; it is something you find within your mind, body & soul." - A.J. Barrera
