Avril Lavigne Free Screensaver. Photos slideshow. Avril Ramona Lavigne-Whibley (born September 27, 1984) is a Juno Award-winning, Grammy-nominated Canadian 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. A hard-edged Britney Spears for the skateboard set, Avril Lavigne was once described on her own website as a skater-punk, a dynamic spirit, a true wild child. Lavigne was born in a small town in Ontario and grew up singing in church. At age 16 she caught the eye of record producers, who had plans to make her a pop star in the mold of fellow Canadian Shania Twain. Instead Lavigne teamed with songwriters and came up with hit tunes such as Sk8er Boy and Complicated, the latter of which was featured on the show Dawsons Creek. Lavigne was only 17 when her debut album Let Go was released (2002); the album netted her five Grammy nominations. Her next album. Under My Skin, was released in 2004 and reached #1 on the Billboard album charts. In 2006 she announced that she had signed a contract with the powerhouse Ford Models agency, and told Harpers Bazaar magazine that she was hoping to do those really beautiful ads with high-end products. Lavigne married Deryck Whibley, frontman for the band Sum 41 and a fellow Canadian, on 15 July 2006.
