Lamont Hilliard of Groovevolt.com chatted with Avril Lavigne who has suddenly become hugely popular after being unheard of just two months ago. Avril explained her decision to create her own music rather than relying on help from others saying, “I started working with these really talented people, but I just wasn’t feeling it; the songs weren’t representative of me. Then they started talking about having people write for me, but I had to write myself. I had to do my music. It was a really stressful time, but I never considered giving up.”
