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.

How Did You Know
Kim Sozzi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm living in a daydream
When I saw you, your smile shone through
And touched me like a sunbeam
I'm inside out, I'm crazy about
The way you make my heart feel
I'm head over heels, I'm falling more each day
Been waiting to touch you and tell you how I feel
Walking on clouds
I'm spellbound about you, I can't believe you're real
How did you know?
Been thinking about you and dreaming of your kiss
How did you know?
How did you know?
I'm in a spin, I'm giving in
I'm living in a daydream
When I saw you, your smile shone through
And touched me like a sunbeam
I'm inside out, I'm crazy about
The way you make my heart feel
I'm head over heels, I'm falling more each day
How did you know?
Been waiting to touch you and tell you how I feel
Walking on clouds
I'm spellbound about you, I can't believe you're real
How did you know?
Been thinking about you and dreaming of your kiss
How did you know?
Did you know?
I'm in a spin, I'm giving in
I'm in a spin, I'm giving in
I'm in a spin, I'm giving in
I can't believe you're real
I'm in a spin, I'm giving in
I can't believe you're real
How did you know?
Been waiting to touch you and tell you how I feel
Walking on clouds
I'm spellbound about you, I can't believe you're real
How did you know?
Been thinking about you and dreaming of your kiss
How did you know?
Did you know?
How did you know?
Did you know?
How did you know?
The lyrics to Kim Sozzi's song "How Did You Know" express the overwhelming feeling of falling in love. The opening lines already establish the singer's state of mind - she is in a spin, giving in, living in a daydream. This sets the tone for the whole song, as it follows her journey of falling head over heels for someone. The person in question has clearly touched her deeply, as his smile "shone through and touched [her] like a sunbeam". The emotion she feels is overwhelming, so much so that she feels like she is "inside out" and "crazy" about the way he makes her heart feel. The chorus asks the person how they knew that she was the one for them, as she has clearly been waiting to touch them and tell them how she feels. She is "spellbound" by them and can hardly believe that they are real.
By repeating the opening lines throughout the song, the lyrics establish a sense of repetition and circularity, adding to the dream-like feeling of the song. The chorus acts as an anchor, bringing the listener back to the reality of the singer's feelings. The lyrics also use sensory descriptions to add to the emotional depth of the song - the way the person's smile shines through is compared to a sunbeam, while the singer is described as being "in a spin" and "head over heels". These descriptions add to the feeling of being overwhelmed and consumed by emotion that the song conveys.
Overall, the lyrics to "How Did You Know" show the experience of falling deeply in love, with all its accompanying emotions of overwhelming joy and disbelief. The song conveys this through its dreamy, repetitive structure and use of sensory descriptions.
