Chanteuse Country US née le 25
Août 1970 à Framingham
(Massachusetts).
Part of
country music's late-'90s crop of female crossover stars, Jo Dee Messina's
appeal nonetheless remained more with country fans than pop audiences. Messina
was born August 25, 1970, in Framingham, MA, and grew up in nearby Holliston.
She sang in musical plays starting at age eight but discovered country music at
age 12 and got hooked on the likes of the Judds,
Reba McEntire, and
Dolly Parton. She soon started
performing live, and by 16 she was playing local clubs with a rhythm section
made up of her brother and sister. At age 19, she moved to Nashville in search
of greater exposure and sang regularly for prize money in local talent
competitions. One win led to a regular gig on the radio show Live at Libby's,
which in turn caught the interest of producer Byron Gallimore, who helped her
assemble a demo tape. Gallimore was also working with the young
Tim McGraw around the same time, and
Messina befriended him. Backstage at one of his concerts, Messina met an
executive from his label, Curb, and jokingly suggested that they needed a
redhead. Producer James Stroud, who had just heard Messina's demo, stepped up to
vouch for her, and she soon wound up on Curb, with Gallimore and
McGraw
serving as her producers.
Messina's self-titled debut album was released in 1996 and gave her two Top Ten
hits in "Heads Carolina, Tails California" (number two) and "You're Not in
Kansas Anymore." The album sold well, setting the stage for Messina's star-making
sophomore effort, I'm Alright. Released in 1998, it made Messina the
first female country artist to score three multiple-week number one hits from
the same album: "Bye Bye," "I'm Alright," and "Stand Beside Her." She nearly had
a fourth, but "Lesson in Leavin'" stalled at number two. Honored by both the CMA
and ACM in 1999, Messina staked out even pop-friendlier territory on her third
album, 2000's Burn. It became her first number one album, and the lead
single, "That's the Way," her fourth number one single. Two more Top Tens
followed in "Burn" and "Downtime," and a fourth single, the
Tim McGraw duo "Bring on the Rain,"
also topped the charts, helping Burn sell over a million copies. Messina
followed it with the holiday album A Joyful Noise in late 2002, and just
months later, with only three albums to her credit, Curb released a Greatest
Hits compilation. Finally, in 2005, she released her official follow-up to
Burn, Delicious Surprise. Messina had already begun work on her next
project, an album to be called Unmistakable, when Delicious Surprise was
released, and although a couple of singles hit the radio, Unmistakable itself
did not appear until 2010. Messina's long-running contract with Curb Records
ended in 2012, and her next album, Me, which appeared early in 2014 on her own
Dreambound Records imprint, was funded through a Kickstarter campaign.
