Fulk was born in Kernersville, North Carolina, where he opened his first recording studio, Think Sound.[1] In North Carolina, he worked with artists such as Motionless in White,[2] For All Those Sleeping,[3] and Chris Lane. 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 signed a new publishing for his own songwriting with Mike Caren's publishing company, APG[4] to which In The Cut was eventually moved as well. In October 2022, he had his tenth #1 Billboard US Mainstream Rock Radio song with Motionless in White's single "Masterpiece".[5] He has been working with artists such as Disturbed,[6] Highly Suspect, Kim Dracula, A Day to Remember and Papa Roach. He frequently collaborates with the audio engineer and mixer Jeff Dunne on his projects.[7]
In November 2023, Fulk was nominated for a Grammy as a producer and co-writer of Disturbed's single, "Bad Man", for Best Metal Performance of the year.[citation needed]
