After being discovered by RecordProducer Byron Gallimore, she signed to Curb Records in 1996. Her first disc for Curb was a modest success with the hits "Heads Carolina, Tails California" and "You're Not in Kansas Anymore", but label mismanagement blunted the album, causing its followup singles to falter and nearly leading to her filing for bankruptcy.
It was in 1998 that a pair of tunes penned by then-future hitmaker Phil Vassar sent her into stardom: "I'm Alright" and "Bye, Bye", both #1 smashes and pop crossovers. Also coming from the album ''I'm Alright'' were "Stand Beside Me" and a cover of Dottie West's "Lesson in Leavin'". ''Burn'' produced further hits in "That's the Way" and the Music/TimMcGraw duet "Bring On the Rain", but afterward, her career began to falter. Curb delayed her next album to release a GreatestHitsAlbum and a Christmas CD, but she made one last return in 2005 with a cover of Music/JoeDiffie's "My Give a Damn's Busted". Further indecision over single choices resulted in her career tapering off again, although she put out a trilogy of [=EPs=] in 2010, and began releasing independently via Kickstarter.
Messina's peak period was driven by anthemic uptempo songs with motivational messages, often evoking a FieryRedhead nature.
In 2017, Messina announced that she was diagnosed with cancer.
