Avril Lavigne is a Canadian musician, fashion designer, actress, and philanthropist. When she was 17 years old, Lavigne broke into the music scene with her debut album Let Go. By 2009, over 16 million copies had been sold worldwide, this album featured her breakthrough single 'Complicated' which peaked at No.1 in many countries around the world.
Lavigne's music includes messages of self-empowerment from a female or an adolescent view. She believes her "songs are about being yourself no matter what and going after your dreams..." Avril writes songs that mean something to her, and have a deep personal theme underlying each song, however her third album The Best Damn Thing, was not as personal to her as others. She says "Some of the songs I wrote didn't even mean that much to me. It's not like some personal thing I'm going through." Her objective in writing the album was simply to "make it fun".
Over the years she has been influenced by Courtney Love and Janis Joplin, because of these influences, musical genres, and her personal style, the media often defined her as punk. Although now Lavigne is identified as a mix of rock, teen pop and pop-punk.
