Raised in Gary, Indiana, Kym Mazelle grew up around the corner from the Jacksons, and often had them come in and sing material she had written. Michael, Janet Latoya and Tito were childhood friends.

Initially, Kym set out to become a diva in the true sense of the word by studying opera at the Mundelein College of Music in Chicago. Disillusioned by a genre that attempts to impose equal discipline upon the spirit as it does up the voice, Mazelle quickly realized that she would have to take a different path to Divadom! By the mid 80’s, she was a successful gospel vocalist and became a fixture on Chicago’s House music circuit and it wasn’t long before she met Marshall Jefferson. The two formed a collaboration that resulted in Mazelle’s first two singles, “Taste My Love” and “I’m a Lover”, which were released in 1988. It wasn’t until her third release though, that she would receive chart recognition in the United Kingdom. Following the hit “Useless (I Don’t Need You Now)”, Mazelle released “Wait” which charted at number 7.
