Lifestyle (sociology)

The term lifestyle can denote the interests, opinions, behaviors, and behavioral orientations of an individual, group, or culture.

The term was originally used by Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937). The term was introduced in the 1950s as a derivative of that of style in modernist art. The term refers to a combination of determining intangible or tangible factors. Tangible factors relate specifically to demographic variables, i.e. an individual's demographic profile, whereas intangible factors concern the psychological aspects of an individual such as personal values, preferences, and outlooks.

A rural environment has different lifestyles compared to an urban metropolis. Location is important even within an urban scope. The nature of the neighborhood in which a person resides affects the set of lifestyles available to that person due to differences between various neighborhoods' degrees of affluence and proximity to natural and cultural environments. For example, in areas within a close proximity to the sea, a surf culture or lifestyle is often present.

    Jimmy Cozier is an American R&B singer. He is the son of jazz saxophonist Jimmy Cozier.

    Biography

    Cozier was encouraged to sing as a child by his family, who would demand that he perform in group settings. He started out as a singer/songwriter for artists such as Mýa, Sinéad O'Connor, and Janet Jackson (whose hit "Girlfriend" he co-wrote). He was a background vocalist for the Junior Mafia/Lil' Kim track "Backstabbers", and toured with Joe behind the latter's album All That I Am.

    Wyclef Jean caught word of Cozier's talent and had him meet with Clive Davis, who signed Cozier to J Records. His 2001 self-titled debut hit the Billboard Top 200, peaking at number 65 and hitting number 15 on the Top R&B Albums chart on the strength of the single "She's All I Got". "She's All I Got" rose to number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and to #4 on the Hot Hip Hop/R&B Singles chart. Additionally, one other single ("So Much to Lose", number 123 R&B) was released, and he began writing songs for other artists (Olivia, Cheri Dennis) in the years since.
