In 2006, MTV developed the reality television series The Hills as the spin-off of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. It originally chronicled the lives of Lauren Conrad, who appeared on its predecessor, her housemate Heidi Montag, and friends Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port.[4]

Brescia launched a line of vegan and non-toxic hair care and styling products in the summer of 2012 called BRUSH by Justin Bobby Brescia. The products were featured on Amazon and designed for professional use.[5] Brescia highlighted his product line in his professional hair salons.

At the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, MTV announced a reboot of The Hills entitled The Hills: New Beginnings, slated to premiere in 2019. Brescia was announced as part of the cast of the new series.[6][7][8] In 2021, Brescia made his acting debut in the film The Chimera Effect, currently in post-production, and contributed music to the film Room 9.
