At Lollapalooza, 'Stranger Things' actor wants to be accepted as an indie musician

Joe Keery, known for his role in 'Stranger Things', performs at Lollapalooza under his musical persona Djo, aiming to establish his identity in the indie music scene.

Joe Keery, celebrated for his portrayal of Steve Harrington in Netflix's hit series 'Stranger Things', took to the stage at the Lollapalooza festival in São Paulo, Brazil, with enthusiasm and a desire for acceptance in the indie music realm. Performing under his music persona Djo, Keery acknowledged the Brazilian audience with warmth, humorously mentioning the heat of the day as he prepared to showcase his music, mixing indie and rock influences.

Despite having a busy schedule, Keery's late afternoon performance time, typically less renowned at music festivals, turned out to attract a larger audience than expected, suggesting that his fanbase is keen to explore his musical endeavors beyond his acting career. This early success in his musical journey, highlighted by his song 'End of Beginning' which gained viral popularity on TikTok, indicates that there is an increasing interest in his musical artistry.

With three albums to his credit, Keery's music presents a blend of melancholy and contemplative themes that resonate with indie music lovers. As he continues to develop his career separate from acting, the outcome of his artistic pursuit at events like Lollapalooza may play a crucial role in shaping his image as a credible musician in a competitive industry.
