As one of the first artists signed to Justin Timberlake’s Interscope imprint Tennman Records, released her debut album "Outta Here" filled with songs she co-wrote with a host of top-notch hit-making producers. Esmée Denters is undoubtedly on her way to musical stardom. But a mere two years ago, this Dutch 20-year-old was just a pancake house waitress with a webcam and a dream...

Esmée fell in love with her father’s Stevie Wonder albums as a child, she was 17 when she began posting videos of herself on YouTube singing her favorite hits by Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Pink, and Natasha Bedingfield, which she recorded in the bedroom of her suburban home of Oosterbeek in the Netherlands. Esmée was encouraged and began posting several clips a week, including songs she’d written herself. Within nine months, Esmée’s videos had racked up 21 million views and the teenager became the No. 1 Most-Subscribed to Musician in the history of the popular file-sharing website! Fantastic!

In the summer of 2007, Justin and Esmée began to write songs together. “Sometimes I would come up with a title and he would suggest a melody,” Esmée says, “or I would come up with a melody and he’d suggest some lyrics. There were no rules."

Justin Timberlake is the executive producer of the album "Outta Here" (2009) and has co-written and performed on the record .

Esmée’s first-ever live performance as the opening act for Justin Timberlake on the European leg of his FutureSex/LoveSound Tour in June 2007. The girl who had previously only sung for her webcam was suddenly performing for nearly 70,000 people at the Amsterdam Arena in Holland! Go Esmee!
