The young girl, a student at Killard House Special School in Northern Ireland, who suffers from autism and ADHD; stunned the online world with a choir rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” recently.

Colin Millar, the school’s principal, told BBC News that Kaylee is often shy — but not when she sings.

“She’d be a very quiet little girl, but when she sings, she just opens up,” he said.
