He worked as a DJ of "Russian Radio in Penza" under the pseudonym Pavel Dobrovolsky, led the program "Free Nails" on the Moscow "Russian Radio".

He released a solo album "Respect and respect". He starred in several commercials of bread crackers "Hrusteam". A video clip was distributed on the Internet in which hooligans beat and scold Pavel. Later, this video was recognized as a fake made to advertise the musician's new album.

In 2016, at his speech in New York, he spoke unflatteringly about the residents of Yekaterinburg. The published video of the performance caused a lot of dissatisfied responses on the Internet and calls for a boycott of Pavel's concert in Yekaterinburg scheduled for December of the same year. Pavel Volya himself said afterwards that it was a joke and accused the media of inflating the scandal. Pavel Volya's concert in Yekaterinburg in December 2016 was canceled (as well as a performance in another city - Tyumen): according to the administrator of the comedian, the organizers of the events simply did not answer the phone calls
