Judd created the China Mountains Records record label for his own releases. His debut album was Perfect Uncertain, released in 2003, followed by Looking Back From Space in 2006. He tours in support of his music, and has written an ebook on touring called The Tour Field Manual, written for musicians who wish to tour without tour support from major record labels or booking agents.

The album has received generally positive reviews, and was rated the #2 album of 2009 by Kristin Houser of LAMusicBlog.com. A single from the album, "Huang Shan (The Ah-ha Song)," was picked up for distribution by Sony Red and released by them as a single in October 2009. Cary released an EP called Trillions in early 2010 with producers Mikal Blue and Andrew Williams.
