Amy-Elizabeth

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 Tiny Vision from 2006 to 2008.

Life
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 official school at the time, she attended a private classroom for children that ran three days a week where she was taught basic reading, writing and counting. The group stopped when Phillips was twelve after its funding was pulled. 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 met Rodrick Miles at a concert in 2005, who offered her a role as a co-presenter. She started presenting Tiny Vision in January 2006, and continued until it was closed in 2008.

Family
From 2007 to 2015, Phillips had an on-again, off-again relationship with Dan Guseo. The two have a daughter called Luckie, who was born in 2009. In April 2015, Guseo revealed that their relationship was "definitely over for good", and that the two had been separated for some time. At the time of their separation, it was reported that Luckie had been living with Phillips, with Guseo claiming that she had been preventing him from seeing her out of spite, which Phillips denied. In 2021, Luckie revealed that she had mostly been living with Phillips during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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". The two remained closed until Valk's death in late 2020.

Health
Phillips developed anxiety at a young age and also developed mental health issues following the death of her friend Samantha. In late 2005, she admitted she has suicidal ideation "all the time", though Phillips' friends and family cited that her mental health had improved significantly by 2007.
