Elizabeth Marie Phillips (b. 5th December 1985), better known by her stage name Amy-Elizabeth is a Kuboian rapper, record producer and television presenter who is best known for being a co-presenter for KT from 2006 to 2008.

Biography
Elizabeth Marie Phillips was born on 5th December 1985 in the Dominion of Kuboia, which was transitioning into an independent Kuboia at the time. Her maternal family is of Belgian heritage, with her maternal grandparents having moved to Jetania after World War II, whilst her father is of English heritage.

Phillips grew up in Fahrbahnin, North Kuboia. Her mother, Amy Valk, died of alcohol poisoning when Phillips was six years old. Since Fahrbahnin had no school at the time, she attended a social group for children that ran three days a week where she was taught basic reading, writing and counting. The group stopped when Phillips was eleven after its funding was pulled, though she continued her friendship with most of the other children who attended. One of her close childhood friends, Samantha Schudel, committed suicide at the age of eighteen, which Phillips said dramatically lowered her self-esteem and optimism.

Shortly before Schudel's death, she and Phillips got into rapping through the hobby of collecting albums. She later took part in a part-time music production course before releasing a mixtape in 2005. She later met Rodrick Miles at a concert in 2005, who offered her a role as a co-presenter. She started presenting KT in January 2006, and continued until it was closed in 2008.

Family
In 2007, Phillips started dating her KT co-presenter Dan Guseo. In 2010, she proposed to him, with the two later marrying on 7th January 2013. Together they have two daughters; Luckie (b. 2012) and Kirby (b. 2014), and a son called Vez (b. 2015).

Phillips' maternal grandmother Marie Valk began to help look after Phillips after her mother's death. She praised her grandmother for "helping her through tough times". Valk died of natural causes on 5th December 2020 at the age of 88.

Health
Phillips developed anxiety at a young age and also developed mental health issues following the death of her friend Samantha. In 2006, she admitted she has suicidal ideation "all the time". Shortly after the birth of her daughter Luckie however, Phillips' friends and family cited that her mental health had improved significantly.
