He first joined It's Showtime's segment "Miss Q and A".[3][4] Despite not winning the Miss Q and A crown,[5] Chad's appearance in "Miss Q and A" led to his career as a performer as well as a part of the vlogging collective Beks Battalion with MC and Lassy.[6][7]

On March 6, 2020, he released his debut single "Basta Panget" under Viva Records.[8]

In 2026, he was included on Global South World’s list of the “Top 25 Most Influential Comedians on Instagram in Southeast Asia”.[9]

In March 2021, Kinis revealed in a vlog that he along with fellow Beks Battalion members tested positive for COVID-19, from which they eventually recovered.[10][11]
