He soon moved on to experimenting with keyboards and other electronic instruments and learning that he could sing, while simultaneously listening to strange combinations of music from the likes of Depeche Mode, Metallica, The Cure, Slayer, Run DMC, and Kraftwerk.

[4] Orgy, who had been lovingly described by some magazines as "The Cure on cocaine,"[5] went on to sell over three million records, receive platinum awards, and hit top positions in the Billboard charts,[6] giving Shuck a taste of real music industry success and massive MTV and radio exposure.

Besides, they were responsible for the whole film score of the video game Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and to date their songs were remixed by several well-known DJs such as deadmau5, Benjamin Vial, Bryan Black of Motor, and Z-Listers.

[15] Up until now, the band has also been touring all over the United States and Europe with big names such as Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, HIM,[16] Evanescence, Papa Roach, The Sounds, and Filter.

Several tours and performances around the globe followed the release – the highlight having been an appearance at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan[19] and in an interview in 2012 it was revealed that there are plans to continue the project in the near future.

[20] Besides playing in his actual bands, Shuck also contributed guitar parts to the all-star project The Wondergirls which featured Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Ian Astbury of The Cult, Shannon Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars, Doug Ardito of Puddle of Mudd, Ken Andrews of Failure, Martyn LeNoble of Porno for Pyros, and Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age.

He was also a member of the fun project of Chester Bennington called Bucket Of Weenies which only had a handful live performances, e.g. at the Club Tattoo Anniversary Party in 2005 and 2006.

[26] In the past, Julien-K collaborated with designer Jeffrey Sebelia (known as the winner of the third season of the reality show Project Runway) and his Cosa Nostra clothing line in order to create individual outfits.

Being a member of Orgy, Shuck was able to define a completely new genre called "death-pop"[30] while playing a very synth-oriented sound that one had never heard before, by means of using instruments and effects that had never been used in music before.

[32] As a member of Orgy, he also played himself during the episode "Sin Francisco" of the popular fantasy series Charmed wherein the band performed their song "Opticon" live.

[35] The Gypsy Den chain has been getting rave reviews by renowned local magazines such as OC Weekly and was recently awarded with the "Certificate of Appreciation" by the Children's Bureau for its generous contributions[citation needed].

Shuck is currently in the process of opening two new restaurant concepts in Costa Mesa (PBLC TRDE) and Long Beach (Daily Communal)[citation needed].

At the beginning of the 21st century, Shuck was involved in the setup of the technology and media company Level 7 LLC, alongside Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas.

[36] Before that, Shuck had also successfully launched his own fashion line called Replicant Clothing, alongside Head (Korn),[37] with strong support by artists such as Chester Bennington and Stephen Carpenter (Deftones).
