OlderEsmee Denters: Timberlake Signs YouTube Phenom
Justin Timberlake has signed his first artist to his new record label Tennman Records — YouTube discovery Esmee Denters, 18.
Said 26-year-old Justin, “In completely unpredicted news to all YouTubers and bloggers, we are proud to announce Esmee Denters has signed to Tennman Records and she will be joining me on tour this summer. Esmee is the real deal and I cannot wait for the world to hear her but all of her fans on YouTube should not worry. We will keep you in the loop every step of the way.”
Said Esmee, “Words can’t describe how amazing it is. I am so excited! It is something I have always dreamed of doing. I have to thank YouTube and its viewers for giving me the opportunity to show the world my voice. I also have to thank Justin, one of the biggest artists in the world, for believing in me and making my dreams come true.”
The announcement was first made on Dutch talk show Jensen!. You can watch the Jensen! show here (part 1 and part 2). But be warned, it’s in Dutch with English subtitles.
Watch Esmee sing a cover of “What Goes Around” with Timberlake playing the piano and singing back up vocals here. All of Esmee’s videos can be found at her YouTube channel here. Her MySpace profile is here.
Esmee also announced that she will be performing at Justin’s sold-out show in Amsterdam, Holland on June 16th.
What do you think of Timberlake’s new discovery, Esmee?

That’s great for her! Plus she really can sing! Hopefully she is going to be recording an album with Timbaland - that would kick ass!
Dutch language is nice!! ;-)
Try to say the word Scheveningen..
But I have to say, as a Dutch girl, that I prefer English.. it sounds more smooth..
She has some pipes .. hope it works out! As always JT … mmmmmm
Great another pop queen just what the world needs.
What does Esmee have? The chemistry. What is it? Everything about her. It’s just that thing that leads to success. Esmee has a strong appeal to “tweenies” and that’s the largest group that buys music.That helps.
A long time ago, an 18 year old girl with good pipes, left Tucson Arizona with 30 dollars headeding to L.A. with the dream of making it big. If you see some of her first videos, she left a lot to be desired. But she had that drive, a strong drive just like Esmee has, to make it. It took a few years of bumping around to find her style and confidence. But find it she did.
Her name was “Linda Ronstadt”. I think we might have another “Linda” here.
Enough said.
Justin made a good choice signing Esmee. she has talent and seems to be down to earth. I wish her luck and much success.
i love this girl! check her our with stylist girl Kira Plastinina
