On top of his work with Sugar Ray, Bullock spends a great deal of time as a solo artist, appearing as a featuredDJ atnightclubs all across the country.[1] At these performances he primarily playsmash-ups (both his own and others) as well as songs in their original format.

His friendDJ Lethal worked on the CD but did not want to perform live with the band so he suggested his friend (Homicide). Bullock went on to join Sugar Ray officially.
