Djo’s Joe Keery on How Viral Song ‘End of Beginning’ Mirrors ‘Stranger Things’ Final Season: ‘I’m a Different Person Than I Was’
Joe Keery talks his musical project, Djo, going viral on TikTok and how the song 'End of Beginning' mirrors the final 'Stranger Things' season.
But you may not know that the man behind Djo is none other than Joe Keery, best known for playing lovable jock Steve Harrington on Netflix’s “ Stranger Things.” Keery has been releasing music under the moniker since 2019, but it wasn’t until last month that the sudden TikTok popularity of “End of Beginning” — a non-single track off his 2022 album “Decide” — took the musical project into the mainstream, with the song’s 2.2 million video creations on the app catapulting it to No. Keery says he wrote the song about his experience leaving Chicago — where he attended DePaul University and became embedded in the local indie-rock scene as an original member of the band Post Animal — to move to L.A. after the success of “Stranger Things.” But now, with the final season of the sci-fi series fast approaching, Keery says the song’s message once again feels relevant. Your acting career is also full speed ahead with your recent role in “Fargo” and the upcoming movie “Cold Storage” opposite Liam Neeson.
