Pavkovic was born in Yugoslavia and grew up in southern Italy. In his youth he was attracted to the music of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, the Doors and Led Zeppelin, then the progressive rock of Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Yes, followed by the blues of John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and John Mayall. He cites as additional influences the concert documentaries (1970), The Isle of Wight (1970), and Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii (1972). He avoids any music that could be considered mainstream.
During the 1980s, he discovered ECM Records and from its roster of musicians Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Egberto Gismonti, Pat Metheny, Terje Rypdal, and Eberhard Weber. He also admired the music of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sun Ra, and Keith Tippett.
