Avelino began his career after appearing on the GMA Network reality talent show StarStruck in 2006. After being eliminated from the show, he signed an exclusive contract with GMA and played various supporting roles for the network.[3] He appeared in the Black Jewel in the Palace episode of Magic Kamison in 2007 and had minor roles in two series, Sine Novela and Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan.[4] The StarStruck 4 cast were then given a show titled Boys Nxt Door, an award-winning youth-oriented situation comedy, in which Avelino played Peter. This series premiered in 2007 and ran for 31 episodes.[5]

In 2008, he appeared in a supporting role in Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita, a remake of the 1989 movie of the same title redeveloped by Don Michael Perez and produced by GMA Network.[6] He had roles in an afternoon series, Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan, and in a primetime series, Luna Mystika.[7][8][9] He also made his debut on film, in Desperadas 2, a Metro Manila Film Festival entry from Regal Films.

In mid-2011, Avelino transferred to ABS-CBN, known as the Kapamilya network.[18] He told ABS-CBN News that he wanted to get out of his comfort zone and, at the same time, reinvent himself as an actor.[3][19] His first project as a Kapamilya actor was in a lead role alongside Lovi Poe on Regal Films' Aswang.[20] He also participated in Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, an entry to the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival.[21][22] He appeared for the first time in an ABS-CBN show through a guest role in 100 Days to Heaven,[23] where he took the role of a rich executive named Teddy Ledesma, alongside veteran actor Phillip Salvador.[24][25] He also appeared in Wansapanataym, Maalaala Mo Kaya and Ikaw Ay Pag-Ibig.[26]

Avelino played the role of a bisexual in the 2011 Cinemalaya film Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa alongside Rocco Nacino, winning Best Actor at the Gawad Urian Awards, his first award.[27][28] He characterized the script of the film as "really different", offering the potential for an interesting role.[29] In 2012, Avelino played Nathan Montenegro in the hit primetime series Walang Hanggan, alongside Coco Martin and Julia Montes.[30] He commented in an interview that he learned a lot from watching Martin act.[31] He co-starred in the "Lost Command" episode of the horror trilogy Shake, Rattle & Roll 14 produced by Regal Films, an entry in the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival.[32][33]

In parallel with his acting career, Avelino began to work on musical projects, beginning with a single, a cover of Restless Heart's "When She Cries".[34] His first album, Paulo Avelino, was released by Universal Records on October 1, 2012.
