Part of the reason Avril Lavignes music is so great is the fact that she isn’t in it just for the money. In a recent interview she was asked if her goal was getting a record deal when she got into music she answered that she has been singing and performing since she was two. All through life she enjoyed performing because she loved the music, and because she loved the music then the record deals came. Even before her first album came out at the young age of 17 she said that she knew this was something that she has wanted to do for awhile.

Other than her pure love of the music Avril Lavigne had several other sources for inspiration for her music. When asked in an interview if she kept a journal to get inspiration for her songs she answered with a resounding “no.” She said that she will actually write songs on the spot, she will sit down with her guitar if there is a situation that she feels strongly about, or a guy that she’s been thinking about or if she is pissed off at a guy, it will come out in song form.

When Avril Lavinge was asked about people that inspired and influenced her music style she said that she really created her style on her own and that she didn’t really listen to other people’s music until after gradeschool. She says that she got a lot of her inspiration and experience from singing in the church choir. If that think that is a strange inspiration for her music keep in mind that she also liked to listen to faith hill and the Dixie chicks. Now though, she has begun supporting her own genre by listening to more punk and rock. Listening to music and picking up her dads guitar and putting her lines to music as she slowly taught herself to play the guitar was how her music came to where it is today, that was the birth of Avril Lavigne Lyrics.
