Avril Lavigne is one of the music industry's top female recording artists with multi-platinum-selling CDs and #1 singles. Since bursting onto the scene in 2002, at the age of 17, Avril Lavigne has earned numerous awards and honors, including eight Grammy nominations, three World Music Awards, an MTV Music Video Award, and seven Juno Awards in her native Canada.

Born in the small town of Napanee, Ontario, Canada, Avril Lavigne stood out from the crowd at an early age. Her musical talents were noticeable by the age of two and, by the time she was in her early teens, Avril Lavigne was already writing songs and playing guitar. Singing in the church choir and at local festivals allowed Avril Lavigne to get her voice heard.

On a trip to New York at age 16, Avril Lavigne was signed to Arista Records when she impressed Arista head Antonio "LA" Reid. Not long after, Avril Lavigne moved to Los Angeles to work on her first record. By summer 2002, her debut CD, Let Go, was released and began soaring up the charts. With 15 million albums sold and three #1 singles-"Sk8ter Boi," "Complicated" and "I'm With You"-Avril Lavigne gave young women a defiant voice.

In May 2004, Avril Lavigne again scored a hit with her follow-up CD, "Under My Skin." This time the Canadian chanteuse took charge of her creative direction, and the album reflected a more introspective Avril. Debuting at #1 on charts worldwide, the CD delivered her fourth #1 single, "My Happy Ending."

Twenty-five million albums later, and following multiple world tours and myriad magazine covers and television appearances, Avril Lavigne is now finding time to concentrate on her other passions, including acting and fashion. Avril Lavigne is also continuing to work on her third album, which will likely be released in 2007.
