Caudill has also produced several albums under the pseudonyms Jesic and Scooter Page. Jesic, which is a contraction of Jesus and Music, was Caudill’s earliest efforts. The music is a mix of rhythm and blues with pop stylings that focus on positive message lyrics from a Christian-based worldview. He recorded three albums as Jesic; Point In Time (1999), 4 Now 6 Later (2002) and Here2Hear (2011). 4 Now 6 Later was recorded for Clarence Collins’ Imperials Plus Records label. Caudill was introduced to Collins through long-time family friend and mentor Jerome Anthony "Little Anthony" Gourdine who along with Collins founded Little Anthony and the Imperials; a rhythm and blues/soul/doo-wop vocal group who charted several times with songs such as “Tears On My Pillow”, "Hurt So Bad" and “Shimmy, Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop”.

As Scooter Page, Caudill’s music features a more rock/pop tonal quality with lyric content that is based on Caudill’s life experiences. His freshman effort Evolution To Better Days (2014) was recorded at Hemispheres Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The album was co-produced by Caudill and James Lugo. Lugo is best known for his engineering work with artists such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Snoop Dogg, Bruce Springsteen and Rod Stewart. In addition, Lugo has worked as a vocal coach for American Idol and Nickleodeon as well as artists including Matt Sorum, Bruce Bouillet and Mark Salling. The album's first single, “I Miss Home (Not), was released on the TMG/LRT record label through INgrooves' Fontana Distribution. The song has been critically applauded and was featured on Vevo Video.

Caudill formed Marbleized Productions in 2016 as a hub for his creative endeavors. All of Caudill’s writing, acting, recordings and production projects are managed through Marbleized. All music related publishing is also managed by Marbleized in conjunction with Sound Oasis Productions and Valerie Jones.
