Abigail "Abi" Trudi Phillips (born 14 January 1994) is an English actress, singer-songwriter. She is best known for playing Liberty Savage in Channel 4 British soap-opera Hollyoaks and her debut single 'Summer Sunshine'.
Phillips got her big break after writing a song for soap opera Hollyoaks titled 'Missing You', which proved popular with viewers when it was featured in the character Steph Cunningham's death scene. Phillips penned the song after being inspired by Steph's cervical cancer storyline and later submitted it to be used on the show. Following the strong response to the track, Hollyoaks bosses arranged a meeting with Phillips and subsequently invited her to audition for the part of Liberty – a musical character they had been developing for some time. She debuted as Liberty at the age of 16 in December 2010. In April 2011, Phillips showcased her vocals as Liberty when the character took part in a karaoke competition giving a show-stopping rendition of Adele's 'Make You Feel My Love'.
In 2011 Abi released her debut single Summer Sunshine featuring popular rapper Fugative. The song's music video was uploaded onto YouTube and to date has received almost 400,000 views. As a gesture of goodwill Phillips offered a free sample of a song she recorded called 'Somebody Without You'. Abi has climbed Mt Snowdon for the checkemlads.com charity which helps young men going through testicular cancer.
Phillips performed her debut single 'Summer Sunshine' at the T4 annual event T4 on the Beach 2011 in which she performed on the sessions stage. The scenes of Phillips' performance aired Hollyoaks shortly afterwards. At the time Abi also announced to fans on her Twitter account that herself, Jorgie Porter (Theresa McQueen) and Craig Vye (Ethan Scott) also recorded scenes for Hollyoaks at the event.
