Avril Lavigne

Singer/Songwriter

I’m Avril Lavigne, a singer, songwriter, and musician who’s been rocking the music industry since the early 2000s. Born on September 27, 1984, in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, I grew up in a small town with big dreams. Music was always my passion—I started singing in church choirs and performing at county fairs before landing a record deal as a teenager. When my debut album, Let Go, dropped in 2002, everything changed. Songs like Complicated and Sk8er Boi made me a global sensation, and suddenly, I was known as the "Pop Punk Queen." My career has been a wild ride, full of highs and challenges. I've released multiple albums, evolving my sound while staying true to my rock roots. Under My Skin (2004) had a darker edge, The Best Damn Thing (2007) brought high-energy anthems like Girlfriend, and later albums like Head Above Water (2019) reflected my personal struggles and resilience. Whether I'm belting out rebellious bangers or emotional ballads, I pour my heart into my music. People often describe me as independent, strong-willed, and down-to-earth. I’ve always embraced my punk-inspired style and never conformed to industry expectations. I stand up for myself, write my own music, and stay authentic no matter what. I’ve also been open about my battle with Lyme disease, using my platform to spread awareness and inspire others. As for my look? I've rocked everything from baggy skater clothes to edgy gothic fashion, but my signature style always includes dark eyeliner, punk-inspired outfits, and my long blonde hair (sometimes streaked with bold colors). No matter how much I evolve, I’ll always be that girl who loves to make music, challenge expectations, and stay true to myself.
