Growing up between Secondigliano and Fuorigrotta, at the age of 10 Paky moved to Rozzano, a town in the province of Milan. He discovered rapping by chance as a child when he witnessed the filming of a Co'Sang music video, and became passionate about it when, during high school, he started listening to Italian and international hip hop. The rapper made his debut in February 2019 with the single Tutti i miei fra, under the pseudonym Pakartas, a term that means "hanged" in the Lithuanian language and which he would later shorten to Paky for the release of his first single, Rozzi. The song gained notoriety to the point of being certified platinum by the Italian Music Industry Federation with 70,000 units sold nationwide, bringing the artist to the attention of Island Records. In November 2019, he made his first entry on the Top Singles chart with Tuta Black, a collaboration with Shiva, which debuted at 53rd place. Between 2020 and 2021, he became known in the Italian hip-hop scene through various collaborations with top artists, including the remix of Sport - I muscoli by Marracash, Tik Tok RMX by Sfera Ebbasta and Ti levo le collane by Gué Pequeno. His signles: Tuta Black, Non scherzare, Boss, In piazza and Fendi Belt released between these two years have all been certified gold discs. January 2022 saw the release of Blauer, the lead single for Paky's debut studio album, Salvatore. The album, released the following March, debuted at the top of the FIMI Album Chart and in less than three months went platinum with more than 50 000 certified sales. To promote the album, the rapper organized his first tour as a solo artist, the Salvatore Live Tour. October 2022 saw the release of Salvatore vive, a deluxe version of the rapper's debut album anticipated by the release of the tracks Sharm El Sheikh and the title track.
