Avril Levigne Bio:
Rock & roll wild child Avril Lavigne hit big in summer 2002 with Avril Lavigne spiky-fun debut song "Complicated," shifting pop music into a different direction. Lavigne, who was 17 at the time, didn't seem concerned with the glamor of the TRL-dominated pop world and such confidence allowed Avril Lavigne star power to soar.
The middle of three children in small town Napanee , Ontario , Lavigne's rock ambitions were noticeable around age two. By Avril Lavigne's early teens, she was already writing songs and playing guitar. The church choir and local festivals and county fairs also allowed Lavigne to get Avril Lavigne voice heard, and luckily, Arista Records' main man Antonio " L.A. " Reid was listening. He offered Avril Lavigne a deal, and at 16, Lavigne's musical dreams became reality.

With Reid's assistance and a new Manhattan apartment, Lavigne found herself surrounded by prime songwriters and producers, but it wasn't impressive enough for Avril Lavigne to continue. She had always relied on Avril Lavigne own ideas to create a musical spark and things weren't going as planned. Lavigne wasn't disillusioned, though. She headed for Los Angeles and Nettwerk grabbed Avril Lavigne. Producer/songwriter Clif Magness (Celine Dion, Wilson Phillips, Sheena Easton) tweaked Lavigne's melodic, edgy sound and Avril Lavigne debut, Let Go, was the polished product. Singles such as "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" hit the Top Ten while "I'm With You" and "Losing Grip" did moderately well at radio. Butch Walker of the Marvelous 3, Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida and Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Good Charlotte) signed on to produce Lavigne's second album, Under My Skin, which appeared in May 2004.
