She began her career in magazine Capricho's staff. She participated in Galera Capricho, a select group of girls who wrote about beauty products and various other issues of teenage years. In her entry form she had mentioned that she liked to sing, so a Capricho employee soon claimed that she should post a video singing. In the meantime, she began to cover songs from Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, and also sang songs of her own, uploading them on her YouTube channel,[8] until her father, who worked on the Jovem Pan FM radio, sent a demo of hers to producer Rick Bonadio,[9] who called the artist to meet him at his record label and record her first studio album.[10] Soon after, Gavassi began working on the album, which was recorded in two months and released on August 31, 2010.[11] The first single, Garoto Errado, was made available a week before the album's release.[12][13] The music video for the song garnered more than 38 million views on YouTube, with guest appearance of the winner of Colírios Capricho, Renan Grassi, and ex-contestans Bruno Anacleto and Mateus Emmerich.[14][15][16] Two more songs from the album were released as well: Pode Falar[17] and Planos Impossíveis.[18] The first show to promote the album happened on September 18, 2010, at the NoCapricho 2010 event.[19]

Capricho magazine created for a blog for the artist and a web-series of five episodes, showing the backstage of her life. The episodes reached more than 300,000 views each. In addition, she was cover for the edition 1106 of the magazine. She also participated in the premiere of Radio Disney in Brazil.[20][21] Gavassi also opened concertes for Isa TKM's Isa Forever Tour on April 15, 16 and 17 in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

In 2011, the single Garoto Errado was on the soundtrack of Rebelde, RecordTV's telenovela. On November 15, 2011, Gavassi released her new song, "Odeio," which is featured in the deluxe edition of her self-titled debut album. At the end of the same year she opened concerts for Rebeldes' first tour.[22][23]
