Avril Lavigne Official Website

Born in 1984 in the small town of Napanee, Canada, Avril Lavigne has loved singing and performing since she was a child. After being discovered by Arista Records, she started her career as a singer. Unlike Britney and other icons who debuted earlier than her, Avril loves skateboarding and emphasizes being her own person, always wearing an undershirt and black tie to attend concerts. Avril is a punk woman, an explosive soul, a wild and uninhibited girl. She was the kind of freak who, at about the age of two, was able to arouse admiration with her voice. She's the kind of small-town girl who couldn't be bothered to sit obediently in a classroom, but was full of confidence and determination and traveled to New York and Los Angeles to hone her songwriting skills all by herself. She's the kind of rebellious young adult who is completely on her own, who will do whatever it takes to succeed, and who is forward-thinking.
