Early Life :
Avril Lavigne was born in the township of Ontario, Canada on September 27, 1984. When she was five, she moved to Napanee, Ontario. She was born in a strictly religious family but who knew that she would turn out into a punk-pop musician. She spent most time of her childhood in Napanee. She studied in Napanee District High School but obviously she had some other goals in her mind.
How did Lavigne turn into such a great musician?
Avril was fond of music from the beginning. As I already mentioned that her parents were deeply religious, so she used to go to church every weekend. At first, she started performing in choirs of church. I am going to post a video from her childhood where she is singing in church.

Later in her teenage life, she learned to play guitar and started composing her own music. In the beginning, she composed tunes related to country music but later she changed her tune. After completing her studies in High School, Lavigne planned to go to New York City where she was noticed by Arista Records. She was invited to the studio to sing for the producer of Manhattan and her amazing voice bewildered the producer. She was just a teenager but her voice sounded better than many singers from the world. And that is how the successive career of Avril Lavigne started which never had a downfall.
Debut Album :
Even though she was given a chance by Artisa Records but due to her conflicts with the studio, she abandoned her deal with Artisa and moved to Los Angeles. She still appreciates Artisa Records and tells media that it was the studio who brought the best out of her and made her a hard working musician. This is what she said about Artisa Records during one of her interviews :
