Internet phenomenon and singer/songwriter Esmee Denters is the first to sign with Justin Timberlake’s Tennman Records.
“In completely unpredicted news to all YouTubers and bloggers, we are proud to announce that 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,” Timberlake, Chairman/CEO of the label, announced.
“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,” says Esmee Denters.
Denters, 18 years old from Holland, first began to gain awareness by posting cover performances of Beyonce, Alanis Morrisette and Alicia Keys on her YouTube account. Her page has so far generated 21 million views since she posted her first performance less than 9 months ago.
