Esmée Denters

Dutch vocalist Esmée Denters first came to the public's attention after she posted video clips of herself singing on YouTube. The videos, featuring Denters singing covers of songs by artists like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and others, garnered millions of views and ultimately drew the attention of the music industry. In 2007, the 18-year-old native of Oosterbeek, Holland, signed with pop star Justin Timberlake's fledgling Tennman label and began appearing with the "Sexyback" singer on tour. Her debut studio album was released in 2009. ~ Matt Collar
