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.
The Vagina Song
Willam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll buy it Tampax and some maxi pads
(I'll take good care of it I promise)
It will come with a hymen, all new and pristine
But I'll bust that cherry like a slutty queen
(With a big ole dick)
Oh every time I close my thighs
My balls they fall right out the sides (of my panties)
So turn my dick into a slip and slide, I swear
The world better prepare for when I'm a lady there
Yeah I would have the whole shabang done
The surgery is not so fun
Put it on your wishlist to give my gash a little kiss
I'll probably pull a little Britney and flash it
And show the world I paid the coins for the front slit
I want to see if it makes sounds when I go piss
It's called a pussy maybe 'cause it makes sounds like a cat hiss
It'll be a couple months since my ditch was dug
Made a hole from a pole, now all I need is jugs (Oooo)
I'll probably get real tasteful like, just kidding they'll be huge (right)
You won't forget about me stupid
Even when I'm old I'm gonna have a big fupa
Oh every time I close my eyes (whatcha see, whatcha see)
I dream my dick will fall off and die
And then I'll get a clit so supersized, you'll stare
The world better prepare for when I'm a lady there
(Oh oh) when I'm a lady there (oh oh)
I'll be buying the panty sets from Frederick's
Louboutin for the kick
Then I'll ask Victoria what the hell her secret is
Toss a couple fingers up inside for the heck of it
But keep the thumbs out, don't be thinking I'm a fisting chick
Yeah I'll probably let you take a crack at it
Love you long time, apocalypse now attack at it
Ooo I'll take some pictures for my Christmas card
Sit on Santa's lap, get that AARP dick hard
And ain't nobody around me
Would think that I'm a boy, no one trying to clown me
It's just a vaginal scheme,
but give me 5's, give me 10's cause it's my dream
I want a real vagina there so frickin' bad
I'll buy it Tampax and some maxi pads (I'll put sunscreen on it too)
It'll come with a hymen, all new and pristine
But I'll bust that cherry like a slutty queen (nice and whorey)
Oh every time I close my thighs
My balls they fall right out the side
So turn my dick into a slip and slide, I swear
The world better prepare for when I'm a lady there
(Oh oh) when I'm a lady there (oh oh)
Yeah it'll smell like clam chowder there so frickin' bad
The Vagina Song by Willam is a humorous take on gender and the desire to have a "real" vagina. The lyrics are presented from the perspective of someone who is assigned male at birth but longs for a "feminine" body. The song starts by expressing the desire for a "real" vagina, which is then followed by a description of the process of getting one, including the associated surgery and recovery. The lyrics also include references to tampons, maxi pads and hymens.
The song then progresses to the topic of appearance and how the singer would like to look as a woman. They envision having a feminine body complete with jugs (implants), tasteful lingerie, and expensive shoes from designer brands. The singer also jokes about taking pictures for their Christmas card, sitting on Santa's lap and getting their "AARP dick hard." The lyrics end with a reference to the fact that the vagina they long for might "smell like clam chowder there so frickin' bad."
Overall, the song presents a lighthearted take on gender identity and the desire for a different body. It also uses humor to poke fun at societal expectations of what it means to be male or female.
