As Adams' father was a diplomat, Adams grew up traveling around the world with his parents. Most of his youth was spent growing up in his parents' native England, as well as Israel, Portugal, and Austria. He spent a year in Vienna, Austria, four years in Cascais, Portugal, situated close to Lisbon, a year in Israel and finally in 1973, Adams' family returned to Canada to settle in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Music career

Early career

Between the age of 14-15 Adams worked as a dishwasher to get enough money to buy a Fender guitar, and quit the job once he had it and he started auditioning as a guitarist while rehearsing his own band in his mother's rented basement in Vancouver. Adams was selected to be the temporary singer until they found a proper singer, but they never found one. His auditioning landed him a few jobs, and he quit school to play nightclubs with bands like Shock and later with Sweeney Todd, who released If Wishes Were Horses with the fifteen year old Adams as lead singer.[7]
In 1978, at the age of 18, Adams teamed up with Jim Vallance and sent a few demo recordings to A&M Records in Toronto. Not long afterwards he signed with them for the sum of one dollar.[8] Some of the first demos written in 1978 have surfaced over the years, most notably "I'm Ready" (recorded for both the album Cuts Like a Knife and later his release for MTV Unplugged) and "Remember," which was recorded on his first album. Both songs were covered by other artists even before his first album was released. Also recorded during this time was Adams' first single, "Let Me Take You Dancing," which made the Canadian RPM chart in March 1979 (the b-side was entitled "Don't Turn Me Away").

1980s

Adams' self-titled debut album was released in February 1980, and marked the beginning of what was to become a long songwriting partnership between Adams and co-writer Jim Vallance.

"This Time" also placed on the Hot 100. Music videos were released for four of the singles from the album.

[sunting] Pandangan Publik

Dalam halaman remi MySpace Avril, dia menjelaskan bahwa aliran musiknya adalah Pop/Punk/Rock, tetapi All Music Guide dan para pengamat musik lainya menjelakan bahwa aliran musik Avril adalah Punk, Punk-pop, Pop/Rock, Alternative Rock, Alterrnative Pop-rock, Modern Rock dan Post-Grunge. Avril mengatakan bahwa "I'm not punk". Avril juga menjelaskan kepada MTV Essential "I'm a rocker chic and not completely pop". Walaupun dia mengutip bahwa aliran musiknya adalah punk dan menggambarkan sebagai hasil pengaruh, aliran musiknya telah diberi nama umum dengan punk tahun 1970an.
Avril berbicara tentang penampilan barunya dalam sebuah wawancara pada bulan September 2006, dia menjelaskan "When I was in high school I was a little shit, hanging out with the guys, gettting drunk, getting in fights, playing hockey. My band were all guys, so I was only around guys, but when I got older I started being more of a chick. I broke out on the scence lookina like the 17-year-old that I was. And from then to now I look really different - but that's called growing up".

Kehidupan Pribadi

Dalam majalah Seventeen edisi Januari 2003, Avril mengakui "I was always snagging a bit of Matt's cheeseburger everynow and again". Juga mengatakan dalam wawancara setelahnya, dia mengatakan tidak memakan daging, tetapi tidak mengatakan bahwa dia vegetarian, suatu waktu seseorang bisa seja menemuinya sedang memakan daging.
Sebagai seorang remaja dia biasanya bermain di Restoran La Pizzera di Napanee, Ontario. Dalam Unser My Skin Bonez Tour Documentary, dia mengatakan bahwa pizza dengan olive topping adalah makanan kesukaannya, walaupun dia tidak biasa memakannya berlebihan, karena pizza dapat merusak suaranya. Sejak dia terkenal dan populer di dunia musik, restoran tersebut menyediakan pizza dengan nama Avril yang merupakan jenis pizza kesukaan Avril, dan disana ada buku tamu untuk penggemar yang akan dipilih oleh Avril ketika dia mengunjungi kerabat dan sahabatnya di kota dimana dia dibesarkan, Napanee.
Avril mempunyai tato bintang di pergelangan tangan kirinya yang merupakan salah satu gaya yang digunakan untuk album pertamanya. Tato tersebut dibuat bersamaan dengan tato milik Ben Moddy, teman Avril yang merupakan mantan personil band Evanescence. Akhir tahun 2004, Avril mempunyai tato berbetuk hati berukuran kecil dengan aksen bertulisan hurup 'D' di pergelangan tangan kanannya, dan merupakan bukti persembahan untuk kekasihnya Derick Whibley. Avril dan suaminya telah membeli sebuah rumah seharga 9.5 juta dollar Amerika di Bel-Air, yang mana rumah ini rumah peninggalan pasangan terkenal sebelumnya, Travis Barker dan Shanna Moakle. Rumah tersebut memiliki 8 kamar tidur, 10 kamar mandi, sebuah ruangan kerja, elevator, dapur kelas tinggi, dan garasi untuk 10 mobil.
Avril pernah digosipkan memiliki hubungan istimewa dengan mantan gitarisnya Jesse Colburn, tetapi menolak rumor tersebut, dan menjelaskan bahwa dia tidak memiliki hubungan apapun selain 'teman' dengannya maupun dengan anggota band lainnya sepeti Evan Taubenfeld atau siapapun. Walaupun begitu, Evan Taubenfeld masih menganggap bahwa Avril adalah sahabat terbaiknya disepanjang waktu dan seluas dunia, seperti yang dia katakan dalam halaman web resmi band "Q&A", band terakhirnya. Dalam majalah J-14, Avril bercerita tentang ciuman pertamanya terjadi saat dia berumur 14 tahun.
Tahun 2004, muncul sebuah berita bahwa Avril dan Hillary Duff bertengkar hebat. "I read that I was supossedly mad at my fans for dresssing like me" kata Avril dalam koran mingguan Quoted. "They quoted Hillary Duff saying 'Avril need to appreciate her fans and blah, blah, blah.' I'm like, excuse me? First off, it's not even true. I never said that, and second, who the hell cares what she has to say about my fans? Whatever, Hillary Duff such a goody-goody, such a mommy's girl". Baru-baru ini dilaporkan ada dramatisir antara mereka berdua di pesta Maxim di New York, dengan kejadian yang berbelit-belit dan rumit saat kedatangan mereka karena pelarian yang tak diinginkan. Avril berbicara sangat kasar, melompat secara kasar dan memaksa pihak penyelenggara pesta untuk meninggalkan tempat itu.
Bulan Februari 2004, dia mulai menjalin hubungan khusus dengan penyanyi Kanada Deryck Whibley, yang merupakan vokalis utama/gitaris pop punk band Sum 41. Pada tanggal 27 Juni 2005, Avril dan Deryck berwisata romantis ke Venice, Italia. Pasangan ini menikah disebuah gereja katholik dengan upacara pernikahan secara agamis dengan disaksikan sekitar 110 tamu undangan pada tanggal 15 Juli 2006, di sebuah lahan pribadi di California coastal city of Montecito. Saat ditanya apakah mereka siap untuk diberi keturunan, mereka mengatakan "not right now but somewhere down the road".
Namun ternyata sekarang hubungan mereka tidak abadi lagi, hal tersebut dikarenaan perselingkuhan yang terjadi antara Deryck dengan Hilton. Avril pun menggugat cerai.
