Avril Ramona Lavigne (born September 27, 1984) is a Juno Award-winning, Grammy-nominated Canadian singer, songwriter, model, and occasional actress. She was originally known for her "skater" persona, but has since shed that image in favour of a more sophisticated and feminine style, although she has stated she is still a "rock chick" at heart. Her first two albums, Let Go (2002) and Under My Skin (2004), have topped charts in several countries. Her third album Best Damn Thing (2007) is to be released in April, 2007.
Although her surname is of French origin, she does not speak French and her name is pronounced in an anglicized way, somewhat as ("La-veen"), rather than . Lavigne, or rather la vigne, in French means the vine or the vineyard. Her first name, Avril, is French for April, but is also pronounced in an anglicized way as ("Av-ril"), rather than ("A-vreel").
Lavigne is featured in Maxim magazine's Girls of Maxim gallery. In 2006, she was included in Canadian Business Magazine's ranking of the most powerful Canadians in Hollywood, grabbing the seventh position.
