In late 2014, he moved to Los Angeles and started to work under the name "WZRD BLD" (pronounced "Wizard Blood"), where he worked with artists such as Ice Nine Kills, Bullet for My Valentine, Fit for a King, Yelawolf, Moon Taxi and I Prevail. In 2018, he had his first No. 1 rock song with Pop Evil's lead single "Waking Lions".

In mid-2019, Fulk started his own publishing company, In the Cut Publishing, through BMG, aimed at signing rock-focused writers and producers. In late 2021, he left BMG and signed a publishing deal with Mike Caren's publishing company, APG[9] to which In The Cut was moved to as well. In October 2022, he had his tenth #1 Billboard US Mainstream Rock Radio song with Motionless in White's single "Masterpiece".[10] He has been working with artists such as Disturbed,[11] Knocked Loose, Kim Dracula, A Day to Remember and Papa Roach.
