(May 2009) - PCM's writer Julie Kissane held a phone interview with YouTube sensation and the first artist to be signed to Justin Timberlake's record company (Tennman Records), Esmee Denters . The singer was discovered by Timberlake after she recorded videos of herself covering popular songs and posting them online.

21-year-old Denters was nice enough to call us while she was touring in Manchester, England to talk about her debut album, "Outta Here," which is set for release May 22nd in Europe and her latest tour.

The Netherlands native expressed her genuine joy of traveling and performing around the world. She's opened for acts like Justin Timberlake, Natasha Bedingfield and Enrique Iglesias. Oprah Winfrey invited the rising star to appear on a special edition of her show which was dedicated to Youtube. Her name is becoming more and more recognized here in the U.S.

"It's been so much fun traveling, I've been given the chance to visit places that I would normally never have the chance to go to and it's been amazing. It's a little hectic sometimes because you can have early flights and things like that. I really enjoy seeing what people are like in all these countries and performing there," said Denters over the phone.

Check out some Q&A from the interview we held with Denters to find out more about this singer. Her album release in the U.S. is still to be announced. But hey, we're sure you'll find plenty of videos of her on YouTube to keep you busy!

Q: In terms of the time you've spent in the U.S., how has that been for you?

Denters: "Oh, I've absolutely loved it! I've been to New York, L.A., Atlanta, Chicago, a lot of places, it's been good!"

Q: You are definitely labeled 'an Internet senstation,' where do you think you'd be today without YouTube?

Denters: "The reason I am sitting here is because of YouTube and because of all the people that have supported me. That's how Justin found me and I would have never been here. I don't know what I would be doing right now without it, maybe going to school and trying to pursue this career (laughs)."

Q: How long did it take you to write this album? Is it two years that you've been working on it?

Denters: "Probably a little over two years. It wasn't like I was there everyday. I was traveling and working with different producers and songwriters. I had to figure out what it was that I wanted to do. I am so excited to show people what my own music sounds like and to get to know me."

Q: In terms of the covers that you've recorded yourself singing on YouTube, what made you decide to choose one song over the other?

Denters: "I just choose songs that I like at the moment."

Q: PCM feels like you are a great candidate for an MTV reality show. Would you ever think about doing something like that?

Denters: "There had been talks about that. Right now, I think it's more fun to just walk around myself with a camera all day and put that stuff up myself on my Twitter or website. I want to just show everyone my point of view instead of through a big reality show."

Q: What was appearing on Oprah like?

Denters: "Oh man, it was amazing. It was something I told people when I was little, that one day I'd appear on the Oprah show! Everyone would laugh at me. When I heard it was scheduled, it was surreal. I met her and she was so nice. It was crazy!"

Q: When you first heard that Justin Timberlake was interested in you, were you cool as a cucumber about or it completely shaking in your boots? Be honest with us!

Denters: "No! It was a really big deal for me. I've always looked up to him as an artist. To know that he saw something in me and wanted to make a record was an incredible feeling. I was so excited, of course!
