Djo

About

Djo isn't just a side project; it's a fully realized artistic vision, exploding with raw emotion and infectious synth-driven energy. Born Joe Keery, best known as the lovable Steve Harrington from "Stranger Things," Djo has carved out a distinct sonic space, a world away from the Upside Down. His music is a captivating blend of psychedelic pop, indie rock, and new wave, drawing influence from the likes of Tame Impala, MGMT, and even the raw, unfiltered sound of early Blur. Djo's debut album, *Twenty Twenty*, introduced his signature sound: lush layers of synthesizers, introspective lyrics, and Keery's distinctive, slightly hazy vocals. However, it was *Decide* that truly cemented his place in the indie music scene. Singles like "Change" and "Figure You Out" showcased a refined songwriting prowess and a knack for crafting earworm melodies that resonate with a generation grappling with identity and uncertainty. Beyond the music, Djo cultivates a unique online presence, embracing the absurd and engaging with fans in a way that feels both genuine and endearingly awkward. This, combined with his instantly recognizable face, has catapulted his music to viral status on platforms like TikTok, exposing his work to an ever-growing audience. While acting remains a part of his life, Djo is proving he's not just an actor playing music; he's a musician with something profound to say, and a unique way of saying it. Recent live performances and hints of new material suggest this is just the beginning for Djo.
