Avril Lavigne Citizen K Photoshot

Avril Ramona Lavigne (born September 27, 1984) is a Juno Award-winning, Grammy-nominated Canadian rock/pop rock 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 since about 2005, although she has stated she is still a "rock chick" at heart. "I'm not punk", she claimed about her music genre as well. Her first two albums, Let Go (2002) and Under My Skin (2004), have topped charts in several countries. Her third album The Best Damn Thing (2007) is to be released on April 17, 2007.
