Joe Keery Brother (2024)

FAQs

Why is he called Djo? ›

Keery used the pseudonym Djo so that listeners would be able to detach themselves from the Steve Harrington image and judge him based on the music. While his identity isn't secret, the pseudonym has mostly worked out for him, as some on TikTok admitted their surprise at the connection.

Keery grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he attended River Valley Charter School for elementary and middle school, and then Newburyport High School. He is the second of five children and grew up surrounded by 4 sisters.

He was cast in late 2015; having initially auditioned for the role of Jonathan, he later sent in a tape for his character, Steve. The show premiered in 2016 to critical acclaim. He was promoted from recurring cast to a series regular for the second season of Stranger Things.

1) Joe Keery began his career as a waiter.

Joe Keery revealed to Jimmy Fallon that he worked as a waiter before landing the part of Steve Harrington in Stranger Things. He described himself as a “very charming” waiter and said that he originally auditioned for Stranger Things at the time but did not get a response.

Though he ultimately departed the band as Stranger Things caused too many constraints with his schedule, Keery continued to create music during his free time, ultimately leading to the birth of Djo.

After Joe Keery's song “End of the Beginning” went viral on TikTok, the Stranger Things actor explained what his alter ego Djo means. When he's back in Chicago, Joe Keery doesn't want you to know he's the one feeling it.

While the show has previously featured everything from Joyce Byers' (Winona Ryder) lime green 1976 Ford Pinto to Chief Hopper's Chevrolet K5 Blazer, one of its more enduring automotive characters is the BMW belonging to villain-turned-hero, Steve Harrington (Joe Keery).

"End of Beginning" is a song by American actor and singer-songwriter Joe Keery, under his stage name Djo. It was independently released on September 16, 2022, as track six of his second studio album Decide and later released as a single on March 1, 2024.

He is shown to be a "Class Clown". According to Chester Rushing on social media, he played Tommy as having had romantic feelings for Steve, which played into Tommy's anger and resentment when Steve cut ties with him.

Steve Hair-ington

Actor Joe Keery is one of the few people not wearing a full wig in Stranger Things 4, although there are some extensions in the back. Instead, to get the volume that Steve's hair requires, Hindsgaul uses a technique she calls "the cat paw."

Does Steve get a girlfriend in Stranger Things? ›

Steve Harrington's relationship with Nancy Wheeler starts off as a typical high school romance. They begin dating around 1983, with Nancy initially being quite smitten with Steve. However, their relationship faces challenges as Nancy accuses Steve of using her as just another 'notch on his belt'.

Releasing music as Djo – and wearing a costume and wig not dissimilar to Shaggy from Scooby-Doo when performing it – was an attempt to get people to see his electronic-inflected psych-rock for what it is, rather than just a lark by the Stranger Things Guy.

According to Keery whose stage name is Djo, Taylor Swift said he loved one of his songs very much, "I just happened to be there the day that she was there," he said on The Spout Podcast. "And she's really nice. I mean, I've met her a couple of times.

It's also cats. On top of sharing the secret to Steve's legendary hair, Hindsgaul also revealed that while Keery is one of the few actors who doesn't wear a wig, he does have extensions in the back.

And now, Djo has told NME about his love of British pop iconoclast Charli XCX, and the impact that her writing style has had on his own. “I feel like what she's really good at is writing a song that is really about a specific thing,” Djo said.

In 2007, Blackstone Group bought DJO for $1.6 billion, renaming the company DJO Global. In the first quarter of 2019, Colfax Corporation, a publicly traded, diversified technology company, acquired DJO.
