A totally unbelievable news in the music industry is Justin Timberlake’s announcement of signing up a YouTuber for his next record label which has left YouTubers and bloggers in awe.
Justin Timberlake announced on Tuesday that Esmee Denters, a 18 year old internet phenomenon, has signed to Tennman Records and she will be joining him on tour this summer. Timberlake is the Chairman/CEO of Tennman Records.
Esmee Denters gained popularity last summer when she posted homemade videos of her cover performances of Beyonce, Alanis Morrisette, and Alicia Keys songs on her YouTube page. Her videos generated some 21 million views. Denters will kick off a concert tour, mostly in Scandinavia, this month. She will also write an album and the record is slated for release later this year. The Dutch singer is really excited over this deal and extended her thanks to YouTube and her fans.
Ken Komisar, President of Tennman Records, said,
“Esmee is a remarkable talent with a story that anyone with a dream can relate to - it is no wonder she has such an enthusiastic following already. We will keep providing fans with a personal look into Esmee’s world throughout the entire creative process, as she continues to write songs for her debut album.’
