Who is She?
Avril Ramona Lavigne was born in
Belleville, Ontario(September 27 1984). Her father, Jean-Claude Joseph Lavigne,named her "Avril" after the French word for the month of April.

Lavigne also performed at country fairs, singing songs by Garth Brooks, The Dixie Chicks, and Shania Twain. She also began writing her own songs. Her first song was called "Can't Stop Thinking About You", about a teenage crush, which she described as "cheesy cute".
“I’ve known all my life that this is what I was supposed to do.... Visualizing like what it would be like to be famous with my music. And always just dreaming, always daydreaming.”
