Bouillet played on Racer X's Second Heat, Live Extreme - Vol.I, and Live Extreme - Vol. II. After leaving the band, he joined with former Angora singer John Corabi, and his former Racer X bandmates John Alderete and Scott Travis to form the band The Scream. Scott Travis soon left to join Judas Priest and was replaced by Walt Woodward III. After several attempts to keep the group together, the band broke up.
Bouillet formed the band Epidemic on Elektra Records in 2001. In 2002, the band released an album. They supported the album with tour opening up for Nickelback, Sinch, Seether, Jerry Cantrell, Default, and other bands. In 2003, the band had a song on Madden NFL: 2003 video game. That same year, the group disbanded.
After his time in Epidemic, Bouillet produced theme music for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler, Triple H. The WWE album went gold. In 2005, Bouillet won a Grammy for his work with Bob Kulick on the production, recording, and mixing of Motörhead's cover of Metallica's "Whiplash".
From 2005-2007, he joined with Bottom Dwellerz Production, and co-produced the Bottom Dwellerz album.
