Joe Keery

Joseph David Keery (born April 1992), also known by his musical stage name Djo, is an American actor, singer, musician, and songwriter. He rose to international prominence for his role as Steve Harrington in the sci-fi horror series Stranger Things (2016–2025). He has also starred in films such as Spree (2020) and Free Guy (2021) and the fifth season of the crime drama series Fargo (2023–2024). As a musician, Keery was a founding member of the psychedelic rock band Post Animal, which he left in 2018 due to acting commitments. Following the departure, he took on the stage name Djo (pronounced "Joe") for his solo musical projects and released the albums Twenty Twenty (2019), Decide (2022), The Crux (2025) and The Crux Deluxe (2025). Decide featured "End of Beginning", which became a sleeper hit and his first Billboard Hot 100 entry after it went viral on TikTok in 2024. He rejoined Post Animal in 2025, during which time he also headlined his solo Back on You World Tour with Post Animal as a supporting act.
