Transgender teenager Piyah Martell was born with a shortened spine and tiny legs but it has not stopped her dreams of becoming a star.

The 19-year-old, who walks on her hands, films herself performing music videos of songs by divas like Mariah Carey and Beyonce, and has built up a loyal following on YouTube, Facebook and Myspace.

Piyah, from Sacramento, California, was born as Pedro Martell, but announced to her parents at the age of 15 that she wanted to start dressing as a girl.
