2000 to 2002: Candy
At the age of fifteen, she founded the pop group Candy with Giulia Anghelescu and Elena Vasilace . The single Mergem la mare ("We go to the sea"), recorded and released in 2000 , quickly became a hit and was able to place itself in the national hits.
After Mergem la mare the success gradually waned ; that in the same year published album Candy and the following albums O seară perfectă , De vis , Poveste , BEST OF and Clipa de azi could not build on the success of Mergem la mare .
In 2002 Pavel decided to leave the band and turn to other music projects.

In the same year she left Candy , Pavel joined the Romanian dance and pop trio DJ Project in spring 2002 . Alongside Ellie White , she was the group's second front vocalist until 2003; a new appearance of the band appeared for a short time. During this time, DJ Project released the album Spune-mi tot ce vrei and a single of the same name together with Pavel , before she quit at the end of 2003 in order to devote herself to her career as a solo artist.
Since 2003: career as a solo artist

On November 22, 2003, Pavel's second album Aştept was released , which u. a. was produced by Marius Moga and contains a duet with Moga. Her fourth studio album 48 de ore was also produced by Marius Moga and Don Baxter.
The album Wrong Girl for that released in 2008 and the single Candy contained on it were able to place in the Romanian and Moldovan music charts. Wrong Girl for that is Pavel's first English-language album. According to them, it has musical elements that the famous Swedish band ABBA used. The album contains fifteen tracks, including one with the American singer Fatman Scoop .
