Her mother was a Hawaiian dancer.

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 ↴

Have you waited, waited
I've been watching you
Have you never, never
Been made a fool

Have you cried, yeah been bit
You got no pride, I've got nothing on you
Would you try, if I tried

We're two, yea we're two shades of blue
One shade of me, another of you
We're two shades of blue
you could be me and I two shades of blue
Two shades of blue

Have you needed, bleeded
Knees black and blue
Have you nothing, nothing
We've got nothing to lose

Have you cried, yea I have too
Never change, I've got nothing to prove
To you mind
If I just look at you

We're two
Just two shades of blue
One shade of me
Another of you
We're two shades of blue
You could be made of

Two shades of blue
Two shades of blue

have you lied, yea I have too
I'll never change, I've got nothing to prove
to you mind,
If I lay down this groove

We're two, yea we're two shades of blue
One shade of me, another of you
We're two shades of blue
you could be me and I
two shades of blue

One shade of me, another of you
We're two shades of blue
you could be me and I
Could be too

Two shades of blue
Two shades of blue

Two shades of blue
We are two different shades of the same color
