Not much is known about the German rapper Pajel, except that he was born in the city of Neuss in North Rhine-Westphalia. Like many of his contemporaries, he got his start in music by uploading videos to his own streaming channel, where he received millions of views. He made his official debut in April 2021 with the single "Nie gesehen" featuring Celo & Abdi, followed by his breakthrough single "10von10" in August of that year. Shortly after its release, "10von10" reached Number 2 on the German charts, Number 8 in Austria, and 12 in Switzerland. It also topped the streaming charts in Germany and achieved viral status on social media. Prior to that, Pajel had signed a contract with Sony Music, which released the Top 50 singles "Verkackt" and "Hausbesuch" in October and November 2021, respectively. A remix of "10von10" featuring Luciano and Headie One saw the light in December of that year.
