Esmée Denters (born September 28, 1988 in Oosterbeek, The Netherlands) is a Dutch singer. She was a regular cover-artist on video-sharing website YouTube where she covered songs from Brandy, Mariah Carey, One Republic, Natasha Bedingfield, Beyoncé Knowles and Justin Timberlake, amongst others. In 2008 Timberlake himself discovered her talent and Denters signed up as the first artist with Timberlake's new label imprint Tennman in association with Interscope.
Early career
Esmée was born to Dutch parents. Denters is a singer-songwriter who began singing cover versions of popular songs on YouTube back in August 2006. She caught the attention of Dutch artist manager Jonathan Berhane who in turn introduced her to Grammy nominated songwriter and manager Billy Mann.
Denters' manager arranged for her to meet Justin Timberlake at one of his concerts and from there they signed the deal. Tennman Records announced that she would be opening for Timberlake at 10 venues during his 2007 European tour. According to several magazines she is the first unsigned singer in history to go directly from a personal YouTube posting to commercially performing on a major stage with Michael Paco Martinez.
