Jo Dee Messina has retained 117 Entertainment for exclusive PR representation.

In 1996, Messina kicked off her notable career with “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” a single that immediately made her a household name and inspired the recent Cole Swindell hit.

In recent years, Messina has recorded three Christian worship songs and toured consistently. She’s charted nine No. 1s and sixteen top 40 songs, and has amassed over half a billion streams on Pandora, hundreds of millions of album and song streams on Spotify and Apple Music, and millions of views on YouTube.

A multi-platinum-selling artist, Messina has been honored by the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music and the Grammys, and was the first female country artist to receive three multiple-week No. 1 songs from the same album.
