Tess was born in the VU Amsterdam Hospital on 21 August 1991, half an hour after her twin brother Joël. They enjoyed a musical and intercultural upbringing due to their numerous international au-pairs. In 2001, Gaerthé and her family relocate to Belgium after her mother opened an office in Brussels.[1]
In 2005, Gaerthé, auditioned for the Dutch preselection of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with a song she co-wrote with her mother, "Stupid".

Together with Thomas Berge, Gaerthé sang the Dutch version of the main duet of High School Musical 2, by Disney. Gaerthé's first album, Onweerstaanbaar was released on 6 March 2008 in Belgium and the Netherlands and was the final step of a her earlier singing career, as she had no desire to continue to stay a child star.[3]
