Colquhoun created his YouTube channel CDawgVA in February 2014. Colquhoun started voice acting in parallel to his YouTube career, doing mainly amateur work with a few paying gigs. When Colquhoun lived in London, he worked professionally doing corporate narrations and commercials.

In November 2019, Colquhoun moved to Tokyo to begin working as an influencer for the Kadokawa-backed agency GeeXPlus. The effort was to help promote/introduce anime and Japanese culture to the rest of the world through his content. In February 2020, Colquhoun joined Joey Bizinger (The Anime Man) and Garnt Maneetapho (Gigguk) in creating and hosting a weekly podcast called Trash Taste, where they discuss anime, manga, otaku culture, and their experiences while living in Japan. The first episode was released on 5 June 2020, all episodes are available on YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes.

In both 2020 and 2021, Colquhoun was a presenter at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. In August 2020, Colquhoun participated in a livestreamed chess tournament called Tournament Arc, hosted by Chess.com for anime YouTubers. In the finals, Colquhoun lost against fellow Trash Taste host Garnt Maneetapho. In July 2021's sequel championship, Tournament Arc 2, Colquhoun finished in fourth place overall.

On 11 December 2022, Colquhoun participated in a surprise chess-slap match with Ludwig Ahgren at the Mogul Chessboxing Championship, held at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, United States. On 1 March 2023, Colquhoun announced that he would be exclusively streaming on Twitch after signing an agreement with the livestreaming service. In 2023, Colquhoun participated and won PogChamps 5.

Many of Colquhoun's videos feature him cosplaying and role-playing, with roles ranging from hosts, butlers, pole dancers, and visual kei musicians. His YouTube channel gained popularity due to his anime-related content, with his favorite being JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

 

In 2022, Colquhoun and Chris Broad participated in an eight-day, 750 km (470 mi) 'cyclethon' across Hokkaido to raise funds for the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF). The cycle was streamed live on Twitch and raised over $310,000 USD. The event was later nominated for, and won, the category of Best Philanthropic Stream Event at the 2023 Streamer Awards. In 2023, Colquhoun and Broad followed-up with cyclethon 2.0 across Kyushu. The nine-day, 900 km (560 mi) bike ride from Fukuoka to Kitakyushu, via the perimeter of Kyushu island, raised over $555,000 USD for the IDF. Later that year, Colquhoun was the auctioneer of a charity auction at the Biltmore Los Angeles. The auction featured unique items from various Twitch and YouTube streamers, raising over $329,000 USD. In 2024, Colquhoun and Broad did cyclethon 3.0 from Yamaguchi to Tokyo. The fourteen-day, 1,000 km (620 mi) bike ride included guest cyclists Garnt Maneetapho, Felix Kjellberg, Peter Macy, and Natsuki Aso; raising over $1 million USD for the IDF.
