You probably know Joe Keery as Steve Harrington from Stranger Things, the zeitgeist-defining show that was Keery’s big — and honestly first — break, which then went on to define and change the following decade of his life. But the Massachusetts-born artist has been making music for as long as he’s been acting, first as part of Post Animal, with friends he made while studying theater in Chicago, and then under the solo moniker Djo (the D is silent).

We sat down with the 32-year-old to talk about his third album The Crux, an incredible compendium of classic songwriting, recorded at NYC’s legendary Electric Lady Studios. The record combines his love of Paul McCartney, ELO’s Jeff Lynn, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles, not to mention The Strokes, The Cars, glam rock, LCD Soundsystem, and MGMT, and the result is a collection that’s rich and textured and catchy as hell.

What Keery thought was going to be a break up album wound up spinning off into a beautiful exploration of the grounding forces of family and friends. Keery discusses his beginnings, his process, his family, and his monster hit ‘End of Beginning’ — 1.4 billion streams and counting. Plus his newfound clarity on what matters, romantic relationships, the ending of Stranger Things, what he swiped from set, partying with Charli XCX, and much more.
