Musical career

From an early age, Esmée Denters was musically influenced by her father, who regularly played music with her and her sister.

In 2006, Denters shot short singing videos with her sister's webcam , mostly covers of current pieces from the soul , rhythm and blues and hip-hop sectors, and published them on the video portal YouTube . These were hugely popular and Denters won many fans around the world, especially in their home country, the Netherlands . Numerous television appearances in the USA followed .

She also received offers from record companies, which she initially considered to be feint . In the end, she followed them up and flew to the USA in 2007 to meet with producers. There a report about her appeared in Billboard Magazine . First photo shoots followed and at the Grammy Awards after party she met numerous music greats such as P. Diddy , Kelly Rowland and Justin Timberlake , who later produced a song for Denters.

She then traveled to Sweden to work on other pieces with professional musicians and producers. When she returned to the Netherlands after another trip to the USA, she announced on the Jensen talk show that she was under contract with Justin Timberlake's new record company, Tennman Records . A new vocal video appeared on YouTube, in which Timberlake made a guest appearance at the end and thus exceeded all previous visitor numbers.
