The name Esthero, pronounced /ɛsˈtɛroʊ/ es-STAIR-oh, refers both to the singer and formerly to the two-person team of herself and producer Martin \"Doc\" Mckinney. She claims to have got the name by combining the name of the heroine (Esther) and last line (\"If I am to be the hero, then I cannot fly from darkness.\") of the movie from Sylvia Plath's novel, 'The Bell Jar'.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEsthero'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 artists Björk, Portishead and Sade. Later female artists who count Esthero among their influences include Res, Fergie and fellow Canadian Nelly Furtado.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEsthero's brother, Jason Englishman, is also a musician.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Esthero","playStationPath":"/stations/113446507/play","stationId":113446507,"bioPath":"/music/Esthero/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Air","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/31d/31d1ec9fe31feeed6db51798d1f0692f_md.jpg","artistName":"Air","artistId":43,"station_id":113264570},{"musicPath":"/music/Airlock","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/97e/97e21cc7bdd2cea9eecf877a48897ca5_md.jpg","artistName":"Airlock","artistId":81925,"station_id":270383798},{"musicPath":"/music/Cibo+Matto","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/322/322f1eb39113454c6402db58b9e7cf2a_md.jpg","artistName":"Cibo Matto","artistId":966,"station_id":113325249},{"musicPath":"/music/Morcheeba","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f17/f174e043e8329892d567f15f08c64cce_md.jpg","artistName":"Morcheeba","artistId":556,"station_id":113292374},{"musicPath":"/music/Blue+States","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b75/b75ab9a1da2f1f7f7ae6f06cac552980_md.jpg","artistName":"Blue States","artistId":56706,"station_id":260081439},{"musicPath":"/music/Dot+Allison","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/56c/56c7dace6ff032e4cb44f2e33044012d_md.jpg","artistName":"Dot Allison","artistId":1021,"station_id":116006267},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Cinematic+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d1e/d1eac611d0ccff59c3dfb96fa02d6975_md.jpg","artistName":"The Cinematic Orchestra","artistId":1578,"station_id":113277696},{"musicPath":"/music/Pati+Yang","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/982/982672fca0c3799d0acd420e326f7f97_md.jpg","artistName":"Pati Yang","artistId":56210,"station_id":259828891},{"musicPath":"/music/Lunascape","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5a4/5a4d812e9c9e8de5cfdcc53956894bf3_md.jpg","artistName":"Lunascape","artistId":56754,"station_id":260260298},{"musicPath":"/music/Imogen+Heap","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d75/d75756272ddd89d30f097e0369ba1f6c_md.jpg","artistName":"Imogen Heap","artistId":924,"station_id":113291323},{"musicPath":"/music/Zero+7","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/601/601585ad31ff81b54afdab0becc889d7_md.jpg","artistName":"Zero 7","artistId":822,"station_id":113280914},{"musicPath":"/music/Quantic","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/89c/89cc27ad879156cbc32c3acaa5cf1037_md.jpg","artistName":"Quantic","artistId":56212,"station_id":259861257},{"musicPath":"/music/Bonobo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d44/d447c2ab2122c597c945556b93a9f212_md.jpg","artistName":"Bonobo","artistId":53059,"station_id":246935097},{"musicPath":"/music/Fakear","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5fb/5fb3c90143e605680fcc204244a06eaf_md.jpg","artistName":"Fakear","artistId":467814,"station_id":401433375},{"musicPath":"/music/Goldfrapp","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/89d/89db314e6bc7f1764f9427bac70bbce2_md.jpg","artistName":"Goldfrapp","artistId":1061,"station_id":113277302},{"musicPath":"/music/Little+Dragon","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7a1/7a1adc6b79e9c9c3913801f55a2e406d_md.jpg","artistName":"Little Dragon","artistId":48425,"station_id":209400533},{"musicPath":"/music/Ursula+Rucker","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0b6/0b6b6592c7a54b8cb9ad1b23b920ce7e_md.jpg","artistName":"Ursula Rucker","artistId":130664,"station_id":287828656},{"musicPath":"/music/De+Phazz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f07/f077b913b18fe87f909b5d8a2908d64f_md.jpg","artistName":"De-Phazz","artistId":4761,"station_id":113385344}]}
