Avril Lavigne Bio
Avril Lavigne was born in Belleville, Ontario, Canada on September 27, 1984. Her father, a French-Canadian named Jean-Claude Joseph Lavigne, named his daughter after the French word for April. Her mother, Judith-Rosanne “Judy” Lavigne, has even more diverse roots in English, Scottish and German. The pair spotted their child’s talents when she was two years old after she delighted them with a rendition of Jesus Loves Me. while coming back from church.
The family, including an older brother Matthewund a younger sister Michelle, moved from Belleville to Greater Napanee, Ontario when Avril Lavigne was five years old. Greater Napanee was a small town, and Avril Lavigne got into trouble at school for misbehaving. She was kicked out of class quite often. Luckily, her family supported her singing and turned her basement into a studio. By age 14, Avril was performing at country fairs, singing songs by the likes of Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain. She also began writing songs based on her life and experiences.
By the time she was 15, Avril had moved from singing Shania Twain’s songs at country fairs to actually performing with Shania Twain. So it was only a matter of time, a year to be precise, before she signed a two-album deal with Arista Records. The recording deal was worth more than $2 million and led to the release of their debut album, Let Go , in 2002. It was the beginning of her skate punk role, and combined with her impressive performances and impact, she would soon be dubbed the “Pop Punk Queen” by critics. Avril Lavigne has sold over 40 million albums since her debut and helped pioneer the genre of punk-influenced pop music for women. She is therefore considered the third best-selling Canadian artist, trailing only Celine Dion and Shania Twain.
