. joe_keery is just getting started. The StrangerThings star talks about nostalgia, his musical influences, and releasing his sophomore album as his alter ego, Djo.
byThe morning after Joe Keery’s set at Lollapalooza, the musician and actor is in the mood to celebrate. Sprawled out on a couch at the Chicago Athletic Association, he raises his eyebrows suggestively. “I could go for a Bloody Mary,” he says, glancing around to see who can be goaded to drink before lunch. And thus, a round of drinks appear.
Keery is hardwired with the Midwestern friendliness he absorbed during his time as a student at DePaul University in Chicago, where the music festival took place in July. Between his unshakable eye contact and reciprocal conversation, it’s easy to forget that he is a global sensation thanks to his role as Steve Harrington onthat is, of course, until he clocks a gaggle of indiscreet fans on the hotel balcony and seamlessly lowers his sunglasses over his eyes.
It was the jumping-off point for becoming the artist that I am. I went to school here and had a lot of friends here, and I moved from a small town in Massachusetts to Chicago. How can that not have a big influence on you? I'm 30 now, and everybody looks back on their early 20s pretty fondly. Mine just happened to be here.All weekend, I’ve been so nervous. It’s very bizarre, there are a lot of out-of-body moments. Shooting stuff on a set is very contained.
Definitely David Byrne. His gusto and his freedom was something that I was trying to [emulate.] Also Devo, after the fact, but that leaked in there. Queens of the Stone Age and The Strokes. It was fun to play a character.Originally, it was to distract from the other stuff I’m known for. It was a way to disassociate the music from that and try to allow people to listen to it with an open mind, and what it’s evolved into is this character. It’s changing and shifting as the project goes on.
