In 2000, shortly after her 16th birthday, she moved to New York to work with several songwriters there and signed a deal with Arista Records. Their teaming up on the song What Made You Say That proved to be a success, and Lavigne soon left high school to pursue music full-time. Her big break came when she was 14 and won a radio contest to sing a duet with fellow Canadian Shania Twain. Initially focused on country music, she contributed vocals and collaborated with local folk musician Stephen Medd, who wrote a song for her on his debut CD called Touch The Sky, which would become Lavigne’s first studio recording. As she got older, Lavigne taught herself to play guitar and penned her first song by the time she was 12. As a child she developed her talent by singing in church choirs and at local events like county fairs and festivals. Growing up in Napanee, Ontario, Lavigne’s vocal ability was evident by the age of two. Alongside the music, she fashioned her own grungy emo-punk style – first with her black wardrobe and heavy eye make-up and then with her signature tie, tank top and cargo trousers – as she rose to become one of Canada’s most popular singer-songwriters. The run includes a UK leg stopping at O2 Apollo Manchester on 25 March 2022, followed by three shows at London's O2 Academy Brixton from 27 – 29 March 2022.īecoming the rule-breaking wild child of mainstream pop in the 00s, Avril Lavigne inspired audiences with her bold sound and fearless attitude. Avril Lavigne announced rescheduled dates for her highly anticipated Head Above Water World Tour.
