Elize was born into a family of musicians and started to sing at a very young age. She performed in public for the first time when she was 4-years-old. During her childhood, she was influenced by everything from Walt Disney to heavy metal. At the age of 13, she attended and won a talent show in Gothenburg as the youngest participant. The first prize was a record-deal, but since she hadn't yet turned 15 she was ineligible to receive the prize. She received a scholarship for the most promising singer and a spot in a musical called Brödupploppet that was played 76 times at Exercishuset in Gothenburg. She received another scholarship award in 2003, when she graduated from high school (a preliminary education for musical artists).
