A boy from Dublin living with autism has become a viral sensation with his rendition of Jeff Buckley‘s version of ‘Hallelujah.’
Nine-year-old Justin May Kiely has had a difficult relationship with music. For years, it was something that Justin approached with a sense of fear.
Over time however, Justin embraced the art form through the films and television he watched.
This helped him become a lot more comfortable with music, a medium Justin struggled to adopt due to his autism.
