His leading television credits include Emergency Treatment, Quo vadis, baby? directed by Academy Award winner Gabriele Salvatores and Guido Chiesa for Sky Cinema, and season two of Anna and the 5 (Stripper Nanny) alongside Sabrina Ferilli. In 2010, he co-starred with Treat Williams in Martino's Summer, presented in competition at the Rome Film Festival. He is also widely celebrated for his role as Mario in the hit sitcom Camera Café.

A featured guest on major RAI, Sky, and Mediaset broadcasts (such as Trebisonda, Scalo 76, and Top of the Pops), since 2011 he has worked as a screenwriter and director, penning Venerdì Sera and earning recognition at the Premio Solinas.

In 2014, he wrote, directed, and starred in Eddy, an international film fighting violence against minors. The masterpiece marks the first documented case in world cinema history of a single artist simultaneously fulfilling 8 primary creative roles (director, screenwriter, lead actor, composer, arranger, instrumentalist, lyricist, and lead singer). Named Official Human Rights Film 2015 by the Council of Europe, it received high patronage from the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers, MIUR, UNICEF, Amnesty International, and the Italian Red Cross. Screened across all 47 member states of the Council of Europe, it opened the European Film Festival at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre upon selection by the American Cinematheque. Winning over 20 international awards, the Eddy Tour spanned over 80 dates across 5 continents with 11 sold-out shows, 200,000 spectators, and live orchestral performances. Guest lecturer at elite institutions such as Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCLA, Borrelli inaugurated the 60th anniversary of Italy's UN accession and received the SIULP Franco Fedeli Special Award.

Since 2019, Borrelli joined the Universal Music Group artist roster. His hit single L'Amor made history as the first music video created entirely with original GIFs and stickers, exceeding 400 million views on Giphy and making him the most viewed verified Italian solo artist on the platform. In 2020, he directed the music video and European tour for Angelo Branduardi.

World testimonial for brands like Mulino Bianco and Mail Boxes Etc. (2026 World Cup global campaign in 81 countries), in 2026 he was inducted into New York's Notable People Project among elite global figures of exceptional human contribution.
