Avril

Avril Lavagne was a born star. She was born on September 27, 1984 in Napanee, Ontario, Canada. She is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She gave a very early start to her career. Lavigne grew up singing country music and in a church choir and taught herself guitar. She was honing her singing and songwriting skills on her own improving day by day...All because she knew that one day she will be agreat star singing before thousands of people. Often during her childhood she use to stand on her bed visualizing it as a stage and sing on top of her voice. She use to feel as if thousands of people were applauding her song. She was soon to make this dream come true. Her first success was winning a radio competition which gave her the advantage to travel to Ontario and sing with Country legend Shania Twain. Avril had a strict policy for herself. She clearly states that she is not gonna be what others like. She will dress, act and sing what she feels is good and what makes her content.


Although Avril was trying her best to give a bosst to her career it was finally at the age of 16 when she was in New York that she was finally signed to Arista records when an Arista employee was so impressed that he insisted that he return with his CEO to hear Avril sing. Once signed to the major label, Avril moved south to New York where she finally began her professional career in earnest. Her time in NY was relatively short-lived because she was not getting the satisfaction she needed from her music. the company wanted others to write song for Avril. But this was not what she wanted. Avril wanted to write her songs. So she next moved to the west coast where she hooked up with producer/songwriter Clif Magness. She was happy here because according to her Cliff understood her feelings. The songs for "Let Go" began pouring out, with Magness at the helm as well as up-and-coming production team the Matrix. Soon after Avril hooked up with Nettwerk Management.

Her debut album turned out to be a big hit. She made her policy "of being her own" true in her debut album - "Let Go". "Anything But Ordinary" is a rockin' ode to individuality, while guitar-driven first single, "Complicated," is a simple song that kicks pretenders to the curb. The string-inflected "I'm With You" reaches out for connection to reflect Avril's more mellower side, but tracks like "Losing Grip" and "Unwanted" courageously confront rejection and betrayal with all the heaviness such subjects demand. Then there's "My World" and the metaphoric "Mobile," which perfectly articulate the Avril experience.

Its just right to say that Avril Lavagne is one of the most popular singer of the recent times. She is a skater-punk, a dynamic spirit, a true wild child. She is definitely one of those rare creatures who attracts people with her voice and character.
