Armond WakeUp is a multidisciplinary artist and wellness coach who uses music as a tool for restoration and connection. With over 30 years of creating music and two decades of community-centered work, he began DJing in 2024 as a restorative outlet in response to experiencing personal, professional and spiritual burnout. 

He curates intentional sound experiences that bridge joy, nostalgia, and mindfulness. Whether spinning at wellness events, private gatherings, or creative spaces, his sets create environments where people can breathe, heal, and reconnect with themselves and one another.

His signature events include Sabbath Sessions and The Rappity Rap Room, where he reimagines DJing as a form of holistic care that blends soulful selections with storytelling, reflection, and community dialogue. Armond has brought this approach to spaces such as the Columbus CARE Coalition Remembrance Vigil and the Department of Veterans Affairs’ VA2K Wellness Walk, using music to uplift and center emotional well-being.
