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.
