Avril Lavigne
Anything but ordinary. That's putting it mildly when describing Avril Lavigne a true skater gurl! She started wowing people with her voice and character at around age 2. She started songwriting in New York City and Los Angeles.Then at 17 years old with everything it takes she made her dubut album "Let go"."I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself-I write what I feel, I never worry what others think" Avril says. "I'm gonna dress what's me, I'm gonna act what's me and I'm gonna sing what's me."

Avril does exactly that on her CD. SHe has great songs on it! They are: I'm with you, Complicated, Skater boi, Losing grip, Mobile, Unwanted, Tommorow, Anything but ordinary, Things I'll never say, My world, Nobody's fool, Too much to ask and Naked. Skater boi is a media HIT! People all over can't stop singing it!

Avril was born in Napanee, Ontario, population 5,000. "I always knew this was what I had to do," she says."I remember when I was really young, standing on my bed like it was a stage, singing at the top of my lungs and visualizing thousands of people surrounding me." She was discovered by Arista Records.

On a trip to NYC, Avril caught the attention of Antonio Reid, who signed her to Arista. At 16, she moved to Manhattan and began work on her debut CD. Avril plunged into the creative process. "I love writing," she explains. "When I get upset and really need to get it out of me I go to my guitar. Sometimes I feel like my guitar is my therapist."

In LA she hooked up with producer/songwriter Clif Magness, and "I was like, 'Yeah! I've found my guy!'" she enthuses. "We totally clicked, because he just let me guide; he really understood me and let me do my thing."

Avril couldn't be happier with the way the album turned out. "In this past year I've really grown as a writer. 'Complicated' wasn't written about anyone in particular. It is basically about life, people being fake and relationships." As to one of her favorite tracks,'Losing Grip' she says, "That is definitely one of my ex-boys-he didn't give me what I needed emotionally.It doesn't matter now, and plus I got a good song out of it!"

Now that her album is done, Avril can't wait to get out and play. She jokes, pointing out that touring with her own sk8er punk band of rocker boys probably won't be all that different from her childhood, "I was always a tomboy and I guess I still am."

Avril's real and is a great role model for people all over. She is definetly nobody's fool, and anything but ordinary!
