Park befriended producer Dave Trumfio (Wilco, Earlimart) later that year. He and Trumfio wrote, recorded, and mixed material for Park's debut album during the summer months of 2002 and has since worked very closely with him on various EPs and LPs. He signed a deal with Hollywood Records in 2003, and while recording for the major label, Badman Recording Co. released Park's gorgeous first offering, the six song EP: Under the Unminding Skies. Park's first studio album, Loneliness Knows My Name, followed in 2004.

Disappointed by low sales, he later commented: "[Hollywood Records] had no idea what to do with me. They're a pop label, so they were always trying to fit a square peg in a round hole." He moved to Curb Appeal Records and released his second full-length album, Everyone's in Everyone and his EP Songs of Peace – Songs of Protest, while continuing to tour across the U.S. For his third full-length album Come What Will (2010), Park moved back to Badman Recording which released his EP Under the Unminding Skies in 2003. In 2013 Park released his EP " We Fall Out of Touch" through rsrch + dvlp.
