Tyler Henry (born January 13, 1996) is an American who appears in the U.S. television series Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry as a clairvoyant medium.[1] The series began broadcast on the E! Television Network in the United States in January 2016,[2][3] enjoying immediate ratings success and prompting the network to order additional episodes.[4]

Early life

Henry is a native of Hanford, California, a small rural suburb just outside Fresno.[2] He reportedly had his first psychic experience at the age of 10, when he woke and told his mother that his elderly grandmother, who had cancer, was about to die and that they should immediately leave to see her. The sensation was "almost like a memory that hadn't happened yet".[1] His grandmother's death was confirmed a few minutes later with a telephone call.[2]

After giving readings to students and teachers at Hanford's Sierra Pacific High School, from which he graduated on an accelerated academic program,[2] Henry initially aspired to attend college and become a hospice nurse.[2][5] However, Henry soon was "discovered" and began offering readings in Hanford, Fresno, and eventually Los Angeles. Before long, he gained a celebrity clientele and a reality TV development deal.[2] Henry, who has never had a driver's license and who is often driven to readings by his mother,[2] began filming his E! television series when he was 19 years old; the show began airing a week after his 20th birthday.[6]

About his performances, Henry has said: "I'm more likely to get information visually. I am a blank canvas and the people on the other side paint the picture ... they use me to do that, any way that they possibly can, so I do go through the other senses, though, and there are times when I feel things physically, pick up on a smell, or hear a voice."[1]

Henry reportedly welcomes skepticism about his work: "I am content with people asking questions", he told the Fresno Bee.[2]
