Esthero (real name Jen-Bea Englishman, born December 23, 1978) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who hails originally from Toronto, Ontario but has recently moved to Los Angeles. The name "Esthero," pronounced (frequently mispronounced as ), refers both to the singer and to the two-person team of herself and her producer, Doc. She claims to have gotten the name from an old film character named Esther, whose last line in a movie (called, The Bell Jar based on the autobiographical Sylvia Plath novel) is, "If I am to be the hero, then I cannot fly from darkness."
Esthero's sound characteristically features her voice over a mix of mellow bass lines, jazzy trumpets, Spanish guitar and hip-hop. She is sometimes compared to trip-hop artists Björk, Portishead and the Sneaker Pimps. Later artists who count Esthero among their influences include Res and fellow Canadian Nelly Furtado.
Esthero has appeared as a guest jurist on the popular MuchMusic show Video On Trial.
