Azzy was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
==History==
Azzy first gained international renown as a cosplayer.https://www.instagram.com/azzyland/p/BAk9QNwxyfU/?utm_medium=copy_link Azzy would spend months making incredibly intricate costumes by hand at a time when this wasn't very common.
 Azzyland wearing the League of Legends cosplay that took her 3 weeks to make by hand. This lead to her being "discovered" and got her an invite to showcase her work on national television.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtwWn14blW8 This sparked her being invited to attend conventions all around the world as an official cosplay guest, meeting fans, speaking at panels and growing a following. Her cosplay got Azzy a lot of attention worldwide and landed her an appearance on a popular YouTube channel. 
At this interview, she got offered a full-time job as the co-host on a popular celebrity biography YouTube channel. Her job as a host led her to realize her passion and love for YouTube, and thus, she started making YouTube content on the side. Not having enough time between studying to become a doctor, traveling the world for her cosplay and hosting on YouTube, Azzy would post irregularly on her own channel. It wasn't until she took a year off from medical school and started to focus all her energy on creating videos did her channel take off.
==Education==
Azzy completed University with a double Honors Degree in the Bachelor of Sciences, specifically both Chemistry and Biology. Her goal has always been to help others so she continued her education planning to become a doctor. Her plan fell short because she emotionally had a hard time coping with the nature of the job due to being an extreme empath and being unable to detach herself from the pain of others. She claims to feel that she still is able to feel fulfilled and help others in a different way now on youtube. At first that decision to drop out of medical school was very disappointing to her parents.
