Belli's first acting credit was as the role of a street hustler named Darren Jacobs on two episodes of The District in 2002 and his first TV appearance was on an episode of the game show Street Smarts.
In 2008, Belli was featured on the single artwork for the song "Breakin' Up" by Rilo Kiley. He has also modeled as part of the Tranimal Master Class Workshop at the Machine Project, which was photographed by Austin Young.
Belli is a member of the band Tranzkuntinental, which made its debut at The Roxy in 2009. The band was started by Charlie Paulson and Xander Smith and features drag queens Detox, Kelly Mantle, Rhea Litré, and Vicky Vox.
In January 2011, he was featured in Rihanna's music video "S&M" along with Detox and Morgan McMichaels as back-up dancers.
World of Wonder contacted Willam's manager asking for him to audition for the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. In November 2011, Logo TV announced that Belli was among 13 contestants competing on the fourth season. Fellow castmate Chad Michaels had competed with Belli in the California Entertainer of the Year Pageant in 2010. Belli won the main challenges in the episodes "Float Your Bloat" and "Frenemies," but was disqualified in the latter. In the episode "Reunited," Belli stated that his disqualification was due to conjugal visits made by his husband in his hotel room. Belli used the publicity of his disqualification to release his single "Chow Down," which was a parody of Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" that addressed the 2012 Chick-fil-A same-sex marriage controversy. The song featured Detox and Vicky Vox.
On March 12, 2012, he released his first single "Trouble," which was produced by RuPaul's Red Hot collaborator Tom Trujillo. The music video for the song was directed by porn director Chi Chi LaRue and premiered on Logo TV. On March 21, Belli released "The Vagina Song," a parody of "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy featuring Bruno Mars as his third single, which had been previously uploaded to YouTube in 2010. The music video was directed by Michael Serrato, who also directed Belli's music video for "Chow Down."
Belli released "Love You Like a Big Schlong" on April 29, 2012. Produced by Uncle Slam, the song parodies "Love You Like a Love Song" by Selena Gomez & the Scene. The song was inspired by Belli's loss to 7-year-old Eden Wood in a lip syncing contest during a segment of the 2012 NewNowNext Awards.
In November 2012, Belli was featured with country music artist Drake Jensen on a cover of Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man." That same month, Belli self-released his debut album The Wreckoning via his website.
In January 2013, Belli released "Boy is a Bottom," featuring Detox and Vicky Vox, to coincide with the fifth season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race. The song is a parody of "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys and also features an altered version of the "breakdown" from "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" by En Vogue. "Boy is a Bottom" debuted at number six on Billboard's Comedy Digital Songs, selling 3,000 downloads in its first week.
On August 14, 2013, Belli was featured along with Shangela, Detox, Raven, Morgan McMichaels, Shannel, and Courtney Act, in Lady Gaga's lyric video for her single Applause.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh and these walls will tell you that
I don't need words to say
Look at the way I decorate
My lips, look plump and ready
DSL I think you get it
You don't need my lips to tell
That what I do, I do so well
Some girls wear pearl studs
They aren't looking for love
Some girls wear diamond tear drops
First base is right where she stops
I can't relate to that
I just can't wait for that
I want the milk, don't want the cow
Ooh and I want it now
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Ain't afraid to be that girl
Jumping through hoops
Cause you already know
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Ain't afraid to be that girl
Jump through my hoop
Cause you already know
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
And I won't get attached (won't get attached)
I hop right off like a butterfly back
No magnet clip can keep me intact
I'm fun and done
And thats just the facts
And you can give me your name but
I won't need your number
Cause after i'm done
Yeah you're just another one of my one night lovers
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Ain't afraid to be that girl
Jumping through hoops
Cause you already know
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Ain't afraid to be that girl
Jump through my hoop
Cause you already know
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Practice makes perfect
So i'm workin', I've been workin'
Big hoops cause I earned them
Cause i'm worth it
I've been workin
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Ain't afraid to be that girl
Jumping through hoops
Cause you already know
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
Ain't afraid to be that girl
Jump through my hoop
Cause you already know
The bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe
The song "Hoops" by Willam is a brazen and unapologetic celebration of sexual liberation, exploring themes of casual sex, female empowerment, and self-confidence. The opening verse sets the tone for the song, with Willam proclaiming her talent in bed without the need for words, using only her body language to communicate. The line "look at the way I decorate" suggests that her body is a canvas that she uses to express herself, with her lips and other physical attributes serving as brushstrokes. The chorus of the song repeats the catchphrase "the bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe," which suggests that Willam embraces her sexuality and is not afraid of being judged by others for it. The bridge of the song emphasizes her independence and ability to detach herself emotionally from partners, as she proclaims that after a one-night stand, her lover is "just another one" in a long line of sexual conquests.
At its heart, "Hoops" is a celebration of sexual freedom and female empowerment. Through her lyrics, Willam asserts her right to enjoy sex without shame or judgment, and encourages women to embrace their sexuality and take charge of their own pleasure. Additionally, the repetition of the phrase "the bigger the hoop, the bigger the hoe" represents a reclamation of the word "hoe" and counters the traditional shaming of women for enjoying sex.
