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.

Feel Your Love
Kim Sozzi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasn't hard to see I had lost control
Then you came my way
Still I don't know how
And you warmed me with your smile
I can read your eyes when you look at me
I hardly turn to you
Wanna feel your love tonight
Gonna leave the past behind
Holding on to pain made it hard to breathe
Couldn't get away from my memories
Then you wiped my tears with your soothing touch
And you blew my past away
Nothing can't compare when your close to me
How I trust in you
Wanna feel your love tonight
Gonna leave the past behind
Wanna feel your love tonight
And now I feel your love
Gonna leave the past behind
So hear me baby
All that time alone made me go insane
Wasn't hard to see I had lost control
Then you came my way
Still I don't know how
And you warmed me with your smile
I can read your eyes when you look at me
I hardly turn to you
And now I feel your love
So hear me baby
Wanna feel your love tonight
Gonna leave the past behind
Wanna feel your love tonight
And now I feel your love
Gonna leave the past behind
So hear me baby
The lyrics of Kim Sozzi's song "Feel Your Love" describe an individual who has been dealing with mental unrest and emotional pain as a result of past trauma. The first two lines of the song reveal that the person has been alone for some time, and this isolation has caused them to "go insane". It has been no secret that this person is deeply affected, as their loss of control is apparent. However, things change when they meet someone new that they admire. This person has the ability to make them feel better and help them heal from their pain. The singer is grateful to this person for their kindness and affection.
The chorus of the song is an expression of the singer's desire to leave the past behind and be with their newfound love. They are ready to move on from their pain and focus on a new chapter with this special person. The bridge of the song repeats the opening lyrics with a slight variation, emphasizing how much their world has changed now that they have feelings for someone else. The song concludes with the chorus repeated, expressing the singer's newfound hope for the future.
Line by Line Meaning
All that time alone made me go insane
Being alone for so long caused me to lose my mind
Wasn't hard to see I had lost control
My behavior showed that I couldn't handle things on my own
Then you came my way
You entered my life unexpectedly
Still I don't know how
I'm unsure of why you came into my life
And you warmed me with your smile
Your smile gave me comfort and made me feel safe
I can read your eyes when you look at me
I understand how you feel about me just by looking into your eyes
I hardly turn to you
I'm not used to relying on someone else, so I struggle to ask for help
Wanna feel your love tonight
I desire to experience your love and affection right now
Gonna leave the past behind
I'm ready to move on from my past and start fresh
Holding on to pain made it hard to breathe
The pain I was holding onto was suffocating me
Couldn't get away from my memories
My memories were haunting me and I couldn't escape them
Then you wiped my tears with your soothing touch
Your gentle touch comforted me when I was crying
And you blew my past away
You helped me let go of my past and move forward
Nothing can't compare when your close to me
There's nothing like the feeling of being close to you
How I trust in you
I have complete faith and trust in you
And now I feel your love
I'm now experiencing your love and affection
So hear me baby
Listen closely to what I'm saying

Except this was late 00s... early 2000s had a different style.of sound. Of you want to get technical, this style here started around 2004/2005 and lasted till about 2010, where the next sound of dance pop house was used in from artists like Stereo Love
@razorramon8326
