AJ Barnett (born November 7, 1993 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American comedian and actor and a YouTube vlogger.

Early Life

edit

AJ Barnett has spent his sixteen years in six different cities and four states. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised about forty five minutes away in the town of Vermilion. When he was two years old, his family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Anchorage, Alaska was home to AJ for a few years while he was starting school, and he prides himself with the ability to say he was born in Alaska for three years. In 2002, AJ and his family moved to Longmont, Colorado (just outside of Boulder), and it remains to be the place AJ has lived the longest. He still considers it to be his hometown.

AJ currently lives in Avon Lake, Ohio where he attends Avon Lake High School. He hopes to finish out the remainder of his high school career there before going off to college in either California or New York to study acting, film making or writing.

YouTube Community

edit

In 2007, AJ became a proud member of the YouTube community. He first became a devoted follower of Hank Green and his brother John Green. Since then, AJ has began following and participating in many online communities. Most notable of these is the community of daily vloggers. Shay Carl, Charles Trippy and Ray William Johnson are just a few of the many daily vloggers watched by AJ and many others on a daily basis.

Vlogging Project 1.0

edit

Starting in Auguest of 2009, AJ started an irregular vlogging project. He would post 3-7 minute videos every few weeks in an attempt to share his thoughts and ideas to a large audience. At first, the project started as a way for AJ to start out on YouTube and hopefully branch into some other areas; but quickly AJ began to pick up a very small group of people who couldn't wait to see the next vlog.

The Apple Video

edit

The most viewed video AJ has ever made is entitles "How To Break An Apple With Your Finger", more commonly known as "The Apple Video". In the video, AJ responded to a Flash Wednesday video by Cory Williams in which Cory showed that an apple could be broken in half using only a finger and a fist. He replicated the situation that Cory explained to shocking results. The video has since received over 25,000 hits.

Breaking Ohio, AJ Barnett Music and IMHO

edit

In April of 2010, AJ announced and began a daily vlogging project titled "Breaking Ohio". The project's intent was to share AJ's daily life with his YouTube audience. With no explanation, the project stopped after only four vlogs. There has been no indication on the reason for this, nor has AJ released a video to explain it; so we're going to have to wait and see what happens.

AJ also released a channel devoted to his musical creations. He released a five track instrumental EP in both video and instrumental form, but no further videos have been posted. Again, now news on the development of this channel.
