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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you feeling me like i'm feeling you right here right noweverybodys uptight tonight
I don't care what I wear or what they say about us I just wanna dance I just wanna lose myselfi just want the chance to finally let it go
Are you feeling me like i'm feeling youright here right now
Are you feeling me like i'm feeling you right here right now
Everything a sensual ritual
I don't need to be anywhere but where I am I just want the passion I just wanna lose myself
I don't wanna speak fairytale (tale) wanna be with me like I be with you so deep inside I melt in your eyes
Melting hands echo kisses glistening like lovers
Transending the flow we're onon liquid wings we fly
Are you feeling it are you feeling it
Are you feeling me like i'm feeling youare you feeling it are you feeling it
Are you feeling me like i'm feeling youright here right now
The lyrics in Kim Sozzi's song "Feelin Me" talk about the experience of being in the moment and surrendering oneself to the music and the connection with the person they are dancing with. The first two lines of the chorus ask the question, "Are you feeling me like I'm feeling you, right here right now," implying a mutual attraction and understanding that goes beyond just physical touch. Sozzi doesn't care about the opinions of others or the clothes she wears, as long as she can let go and dance with the person she's with. The lyrics suggest that the experience of dancing and being with someone can be a sensual and spiritual ritual that transcends the mundane aspects of everyday life.
The second verse continues with the theme of letting go and fully immersing oneself in the moment. Sozzi doesn't want to be in a fairytale, she wants real intimacy and connection with the person she's with, so deep that she "melts" in their eyes. The chorus repeats again, highlighting the importance of feeling the connection with the other person and allowing themselves to fly on "liquid wings."
The lyrics of "Feelin Me" are a celebration of the present moment and the connections that people can make through dancing and music. The song encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the feelings of attraction and intimacy that can come from being fully present with someone else.
