Allow me to introduce myself...
What's going on everybody?
I’m Armond WakeUp.
I’m a multidisciplinary artist, MC, DJ, military veteran, and creative coach. For more than two decades, I’ve used music, storytelling, and coaching to help people reconnect with purpose, heal through reflection, and embrace a sustainable pace for growth. My work blends cultural critique, personal transformation, and artistic clarity.
My roots are in St. Louis, MO but I've lived & performed all over the world, released over 20 projects, and helped people navigate everything from faith deconstruction to creative burnout. My artistry is rooted in authenticity and restoration. Whether I’m leading a coaching session, spinning a healing DJ set, or breaking down lyrics with depth and honesty, the goal is always the same: make space for reflection and reconnection.
Outside of my professional & creative endeavors, I am a husband & father of four.
Here’s where you can explore everything I’m building:
Music – soulful, introspective hip-hop with story at the center
DJing – A hobby I recently picked up where I curate mixes for movement & restoration
Clock Radio Speakers – a podcast exploring hip-hop & cultural legacy

Model Ministry – where fashion meets mental health & personal identity
Everything Is Wrestling – life lessons through pro wrestling stories
