Avril Ramona Lavignes a French and Canadian singer-songwriter. She was born in Belleville,Ontario, and spent most of her youth in the town of Napanee. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million. In 2002, when she was 17 years old, Lavigne broke onto the music scene with her debut album Let Go. Since her professional debut, she has become one of the most successful artists in the world, selling more than 30 million albums and over 50 million singles worldwide.
Themes in Lavigne's music include messages of self-empowerment from a female or an adolescent view. Lavigne believes her "songs are about being yourself no matter what and going after your dreams even if your dreams are crazy and even if people tell you they're never going to come true." On her debut album, Let Go, Lavigne preferred the less mainstream songs, such as "Losing Grip", instead of her more radio-friendly singles, such as "Complicated", saying that "the songs I did with the Matrix... were good for my first record, but I don't want to be that pop anymore."Lavigne's second album, Under My Skin, had deeper personal themes underlying each song. Lavigne explained, "I've gone through so much, so that's what I talk about. Like boys, like dating or relationships". In contrast, her third album, The Best Damn Thing, was not personal to her. "Some of the songs I wrote didn't even mean that much to me. It's not like some personal thing I'm going through." Her objective in writing the album was simply to "make it fun".Goodbye Lullaby, Lavigne's fourth album, was much more personal than her earlier records,with Lavigne describing the album as "more stripped down, deeper. All the songs are very emotional".Ian McKellen defined her as "... a punk chanteuse, a post-grunge valkyrie, with the wounded soul of a poet and the explosive pugnacity of a Canadian." on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2007.
Growing up, Lavigne listened to Blink-182, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty and Shania Twain,and her influences include Courtney Love and Janis Joplin.Because of these influences, musical genres, and her personal style, the media often defined her as punk, something she denied being. Lavigne’s close friend and guitarist, Evan Taubenfeld, said, "It's a very touchy subject to a lot of people, but the point is that Avril isn't punk, but she never really pretended to claim to come from that scene. She had pop punk music and the media ended up doing the rest".Lavigne also commented on the matter: "I have been labeled like I'm this angry girl, rebel... punk, and I am so not any of them."[51] Although she stated to have punk influences on her music: "I like to listen a lot to punk rock music, you can notice a certain influence of punk in my music. I like an aggressive music, but pretty enough pop-rock, which is what I really do."

Avril Lavigne的音乐主题包括了女性和青少年自强的讯息,她相信自己的歌曲“关于做回自己,并不理什么也要追寻自己的梦想,即使是疯狂的,和别人告诉你没有可能成真的”.Avril的首张个人专辑《Let Go》,她首选的是一首非主流的歌曲《失去控制》,而不是于电台热播单曲《超复杂》,她说：“我跟制作团队The Matrix录制我的歌...这对于我首张的个人专辑是好的,但我不想再制作流行音乐了.”她的第二专辑《Under My Skin》,每一首歌曲背后都有更深层次的个人主题,Avril解释,“我经历了很多东西,如男孩子,约会或关系...这就是我所讲的东西”相反,她的第三专辑《The Best Damn Thing》则不是关于她个人的,“在这张专辑我写的一些歌对我自己来说没有很多意味,不像我经历过的私人事情.”她写这张专辑的目的只是单纯的“让它变得有趣”Avril的第四专辑《Goodbye Lullaby'》,比她之前的专辑更个人化,她形容这专辑是“更精简,更深入,所有歌曲都非常有感情.”Ian McKellen于2007年Craig Ferguson的晚间节目中把Avril Lavigne定义为“...一个庞克女歌手,后垃圾摇滚女武神,当中夹杂着一种受伤的灵魂诗人感觉,她并且是一位好战且有爆发力的加拿大人.”
在成长的时候,Avril听Blink-182、咕咕玩偶、火柴盒二十和莎妮娅·特温的歌,而影响她的人包括寇特妮·洛芙和珍妮丝·贾普林.基于这些影响和曲风,以及她的个人风格,媒体常常把她定义为“庞克次文化”,这是她否认的.Avril的好友兼吉他手埃文·陶本菲德说：“这是对很多人来说是一个需小心处理的话题,但重点是Avril不是庞克,她从来没有故作这样.她只是有一些流行庞克音乐,而媒体最后把她定义了.”Avril也就此事发表意见,她说,“我被标纤为愤怒少女,一个反叛的女孩...庞克音乐,而我不是那些.”她指出庞克影响她的音乐,她说：“我很喜欢听许多庞克摇滚音乐,在我的音乐中,你可以留意到庞克有一定的影响力,我喜欢一些进取的音乐,足够漂亮的流行摇滚,这都是我真正想做的音乐.”
