Djo, pronounced "Joe", is the musical alias of Joe Keery, the Newburyport native born in 1992 who most people know as Steve Harrington on Stranger Things, with films like Spree and Free Guy and the fifth season of Fargo on his acting reel too. Before the solo records, he helped start the psych-rock outfit Post Animal, quitting in 2018 when acting ate his calendar, and it was only then that he started making records as Djo.
Twenty Twenty arrived in 2019 and Decide in 2022, and Djo's sound is a woozy, retro-tinged mix of synth-pop, indie pop and scrappy indie rock, all fuzzy keyboards and sly hooks. Decide's "End of Beginning" was a sleeper that went viral on TikTok in 2024 and gave him his first Billboard Hot 100 entry. The Crux followed on AWAL in 2025, with "Basic Being Basic", "Delete Ya" and "Potion" making it onto rock radio, and a deluxe edition came the same year. In 2025 he also rejoined Post Animal and took them out as the opening act on his Back on You World Tour.
