Piyah Martell -- aka Honey B Diva -- has become an Internet sensation with her YouTube cover videos of songs by artists like Lady Gaga and Mariah Carey.

The singer and performer, who was born with a rare condition called Caudal Regression Syndrome which kept her spine and legs from fully developing in the womb, uses a computer given to her by her godmother to create and edit her own videos. She also shares videos documenting her everyday activities -- like walking on her hands through a shopping mall -- so that the world can see what living her life is like.
