Justin Timberlake signs his first artist!



Justin Timberlake and his team in Tennman Records have pointed their first artist to be signed under the label. YouTube star Esmee Denters inked the deal and will carry on becoming the opening act for a handful of Timberlake's European gigs.

"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," Tennman president Ken Komisar said in a statement.

Beside opening act, Denters will also have her studio album released later this year.

Denters is mostly known for her appearance on a series of YouTube videos. Receiving 21 million views in the past 9 months, she covers songs from Beyonce Knowles, Natalie Imbruglia and many others.

Here's a clip of Esmee on YouTube:

It's the first time I heard about her, and I think she sounds really great!
