Childhood & Early Life
Born in Belleville, Ontario Avril Ramona Lavigne grew up in the small town of Nappanee, Ontario, Canada.
Her French-Canadian parents John and Judy were devout Baptists. She was exposed to music by the age of two through her mother's church songs.
Until the age of 12, she was just a singer but soon started teaching herself guitar and also wrote lines which eventually grew into songs.
In 1998, Lavigne tasted success for the very first time and won a singing contest and appeared on stage, as part of her prize, alongside Shania Twain in Canada's capital, Ottawa.
In 1999, she was spotted by Cliff Fabri, who eventually became her first professional manager, while she was performing at a bookstore in Kingston, Ontario.
Career
In June 2002, ‘Let Go’, her first album was released and featured at no. 2 on the US Billboard 200 and peaked at the music charts in the UK, Canada and Australia.
In 2004, she came out with her second album ‘Under My Skin’. She wrote most of the songs with Canadian singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk.
In 2005, she set out for her first world tour, titled, ‘Bonez Tour’, during which she performed in almost all the continents throughout the year.

Hard working and smart, she knew world tours would increase her visibility and popularity. In 2008, she went on her second world tour ‘The Best Damn Tour’ to promote her album.
In March 2011, her fourth album ‘Goodbye Lullaby’ was released by RCA records. The songs in this album were mostly written by her during her teenage years.
