    The Canadian pop punk princess has grown up, Avril Lavigne now goes in for the glamorous look. She used to be known for her tomboy style, wearing a necktie, tank top, baggy clothes, sneakers or converse boots and shoelaces tied around her fingers.

    Then she went through the "Goth" period, dressing entirely in black, with black lipstick and black hair, but she says that was never the real her, it was just a costume.

    Born in Belleville, Ontario and moving to Napanee when she was 5-years-old, she comes from a working class family, who encouraged her singing. At the age of 2-years-old she began singing in the church choir alongside her mother and her father bought her a microphone, drum kit, keyboard and several guitars.

    He also converted the basement of their house into a studio and when she was 14 her parents started to take her to karaoke sessions.

    Her first taste of stardom was when she won a radio competition at the age of 15 to sing with Shania Twain on stage at the Corel Centre in Ottawa. The couple sang "What Made You Say That" in front of 20,000 people. A year later she signed a record contract with Arista, now RCA Records.

    She was offered a two-album record deal worth more than $2 million and when she was 17-years-old she rocketed on to the music scene with her debut album "Let's Go" which was released in 2002.

    Lavigne is a girl who knows what she wants and her hard work and determination paid off when she created history by becoming the youngest soloist to reach number 1 in the UK and her album was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.Source URL: http://thegreatamericablog.blogspot.com/2011/10/avril-lavigne.html
