Esme Denters is a breakout YouTube star who just recorded her first album with Justin Timberlake. This girl is creating a lot of BUZZ!

I never thought by posting videos on YouTube I'd be able to do all this, she says. Quite an understatement! Teen girls post videos on the internet every single day, but only dream of going main stream. Esme's star has been slowing rising, starting out with humble beginnings on her channel. Soon her audience grew and suddenly people were talking. People who know Justin Timberlake. The two were introduced.

[Justin's] been so involved with the record, she tells YH. I've been writing with him too. She's the first artist signed to his new label, Tennman Records. It promises to be an interesting debut.

Plucked from the World Wide Web, the Dutch native went on tour with JT around Europe, giving her a chance to perform all their songs for a live audience. She's ready to break!

Esme lists her music inspirations as Janet Jackson, the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child. Mostly very powerful women, actually, she concludes.

Those divas helped lift her to fame, after all. Posting her covers of Brandy, Mariah Carey, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna launched her into the conscious of the interwebs. And, to quote a famous ditty she covered, the rest is still unwritten.

Her first studio album, Outta Here, is out now - catch it!
