Michael Grubbs

In 2024, Michael Grubbs continues to lead Wakey Wakey, a Brooklyn-based adult alternative pop band, to new heights. Originating from Richmond, Virginia, Grubbs’ classical training and roots in church music evolved into a unique blend of anti-folk and pop after moving to New York in 1998. His big break came when One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn featured Wakey Wakey’s song “War Sweater” on the show, later inviting Grubbs for multiple cameos and performances. The band’s debut album, Almost Everything I Wish I’d Said the Last Time I Saw You…, climbed to number one on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart, securing their place in the music scene. With releases like Homeless Poets (2015) and Overreactivist (2016) under labels The Family Records and The End Records, Wakey Wakey has solidified its reputation for storytelling and genre-blending sounds, reflecting Grubbs’ deep commitment to creative evolution.
