Fulk was born in Kernersville, North Carolina, where he attended Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point.

During this time he built and opened his first recording studio, Think Sound.[1] In North Carolina, Fulk worked with artists such as Motionless in White,[2] Cane Hill, For All Those Sleeping,[3] and Chris Lane. In late 2014, Fulk relocated to Los Angeles and started to work under the moniker "WZRD BLD" (pronounced "Wizard Blood"), where he continued to work with artists such as Ice Nine Kills, Bullet for My Valentine, Fit for a King, Yelawolf, Moon Taxi, and I Prevail among others. In 2018, Fulk 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 and in late 2021 Fulk signed a new publishing for his own songwriting with Mike Caren's publishing company APG[4] where In The Cut was eventually moved to as well. In October 2022, Fulk notched his tenth #1 Billboard US Mainstream Rock Radio song with Motionless in White's single "Masterpiece" [5] and has most recently been working with artists such as Disturbed,[6] Highly Suspect, Kim Dracula, A Day to Remember, and Papa Roach.
