Rising to fame as a shock jock, Beelen was known for hosting his breakfast show GI:EL, on NPO 3FM from 2004 to 2016 and NPO Radio 2 from 2020 to 2022.

In 2014, Beelen achieved a Guinness World Record for the longest radio DJ marathon ever, lasting 198 hours of non-stop broadcasting, after having improved the world record for the longest duration continuous crowd surfing in 2011.
