From 2013 to 2016, he appeared in supporting roles in a string of films such as She's Dating the Gangster, Kid Kulafu, A Second Chance, Honor Thy Father and Everything About Her. His first starring role came as Felix Salonga in the 2016 critically acclaimed coming-of-age film 2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten. He has since been cast in recurring roles the drama A Love to Last (2017) and fantasy series La Luna Sangre (2017–18).
He also starred in indie films such as Riding in Tandem opposite Jason Abalos, released in select cinemas in the Philippines from October 13–19, 2017. It was announced that he was cast in thriller drama Kasunduan which also stars Joey Marquez, Joem Bascon and Ejay Falcon, set to be released in 2018.

Khalil was inspired by his father, who started to train him to be a singer at the age of 5. His talent were influenced by Michael Jackson, David Cook, Journey, and John Lennon.
