Kim is of Italian and Puerto Rican descent. She is a big fan of French cheese and wine.
During the late 1990s, she was headed in a singer-songwriter direction and was recruited by Sarah McLachlan to appear in the final installment of her Lilith Fair women tour festival in 1999.
She is married to Derek Axelrod.
Career beginning
During the early 2000s, Sozzi released an album and several singles as a pop-rock performer. Eventually, some of these singles were remixed by New York City dance producers, and the songs crossed over into the New York dance and club scene, where they became hits. She also found success in the European club scene with these dance mixes. Because Sozzi was difficult to pronounce in some foreign dialects, Kim went by the name of STYLES for the European market.
MYNT
In 2004, while still trying to make a name for herself in America as a mainstream pop singer, the New York based dance duo, MYNT, sought Sozzi to sing vocals on a track that they were producing and planning to release as their debut single, a camped up cover of Mantronik's house classic "How Did You Know". Sozzi agreed to sing vocals on the track, which was credited to "Mynt featuring Kim Sozzi", and eventually decided to join Mynt as a permanent member when the song found heavy success in American clubs and even on popular New York City radio stations such as KTU and Z100. The song eventually peaked at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. It stayed at #1 on the airplay chart at KTU for over 14 weeks. The song was the second most played song on KTU in 2004. She released another single with Mynt titled "Back In Love". She has since left the group and has signed to Ultra records as Kim Sozzi.
Solo
Kim released her second single, "Stay", in early 2005. It caught on across the country rather than mainly only in the New York area, a first for a Sozzi single.
Her single "Alone" received heavy rotation on Sirius Satellite Radio's dance station (The Beat) after being released in March 2006. The song is a cover version of the Heart classic. Kim's brand of Dance-pop is sleek and firecely catchy. It strongly ignores any rap influence. Kim's new single "Break Up", the (Cascada Mix) won the battle of The Fresh Beats on KTU on September 1, where it received 75% of the vote.
Kim's vocals and sound have been compared to that of 90s Canadian dance icon Emjay.
Next up for Kim is a smash duet with the "bad boy of dance", Lucas Prata. It is a remake of the Human League's "Don't You Want Me". The duo premiered the track at Mirage on Long Island on New Years Eve and it is expected to be included on the upcoming Kim Sozzi Ultra Records release.

Kim Sozzi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
"Alone" by Kim Sozzi is a heart-wrenching song that speaks about longing, loneliness, and unrequited love. The first verse sets the stage with the singer lying in a dark room, hearing the ticking of the clock, waiting and wondering where their love interest is. The night seems to drag on, with the singer hoping that it would not end, even though they are alone. The chorus reveals that the singer has never needed anyone until they met the person they are obsessing over, and now that they have, they cannot handle being alone. They are terrified of the idea of being separated from this person and are consumed by an overwhelming need to be with them.
In the second verse, the singer admits that they have been waiting for a long time to express their feelings to the person they are in love with. The singer's desire to touch their lips and hold them tight is painfully evident, as is the anguish of knowing that their love is still unspoken, that the secret of their feelings is still their own. The chorus is repeated, highlighting the desperation of the singer's longing to be with their love interest, asking again how they can achieve that goal.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of longing and loneliness, and the pain of unrequited love. "Alone" is a powerful expression of the all-consuming desire to be with someone, the feeling of vulnerability and the fear of being alone that often comes with it. The song's simple yet emotive lyrics, combined with the haunting melody, make it an unforgettable piece that will resonate with listeners who've been through the same.

I hear the ticking of the clock
I can hear the sound of the clock ticking in the stillness of the room
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I'm lying here in the dark, unable to sleep because my thoughts are with you
I wonder where you are tonight
I'm thinking of you and wondering where you could be right now
No answer on the telephone
I tried calling you, but you're not answering which makes me feel even more alone
And the night goes by so very slow
The night seems to be crawling by as I wait anxiously for your phone call
Oh I hope that it won't end though
I'm afraid that this silence between us will drive us apart, but I hope it won't
Alone
I'm feeling isolated and lonely without you
Till now I always got by on my own
I thought that I was content being alone, but meeting you has changed my mind
I never really cared until I met you
I didn't realize what I was missing until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
The thought of losing you or not being with you sends shivers down my spine
How do I get you alone
I'm desperate to be with you, but I don't know how to make it happen
You don't know how long I have wanted
I've been wanting to tell you how I feel for a long time, but I never found the right moment
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
I dream of holding you close and kissing you
You don't know how long I have waited
I've been waiting for the right moment to confess my feelings for you
And I was going to tell you tonight
Tonight was supposed to be the night that I tell you how I feel, but you're not here
But the secret is still my own
I'm keeping my feelings for you a secret for now
And my love for you is still unknown
You don't know how much I love you, but someday I hope to tell you
How do I get you alone
I'm still trying to figure out how to be with you
How do I get you alone
My desire to be with you is consuming me
Till now I always got by on my own
I used to think that I could handle life alone, but now I know I can't
I never really cared until I met you
Before I met you, I didn't realize what it meant to truly care for someone
And now it chills me to the bone
The thought of losing you now that I've found you is terrifying
How do I get you alone
I'm trying to figure out how to win your heart and be with you
How do I get you alone
Being with you is all I can think about, but I don't know how to make it happen
