youtube made me: esmee denters

justin timberlake's new label imprint tennman records announced yesterday their first signing as esmee denters, an 18 year old dutch girl who found a fanbase of up to 21 million hits since august 2006. basically, esmee posted cover versions of her favorite songs on youtube and found very quickly that people from all over the world were tuning into her.

now the true test is to see if this kind of artist will translate into the 'real' world, but with JT hooking her up with a bunch of hot producers, things are looking very bright indeed. [thanks to kevipod for the intro]


esmee denters - waterfalls
[as you can see, this is still one of her first broadcasts, chewing gum and probably reading the lyrics on screen]


esmee denters - what goes around
[boom! less than a year later, esmee's in a studio with a special guest playing the piano for her. yes indeed, youtube made you!]


the esmee story
[poorly put together, but you get the idea of the story behind this girl]
