Nothing is more meta than listening to music from a TV show about a DJ. Netflix’s new original comedy series Turn Up Charlie dropped on March 15, starring Idris Elba as a struggling DJ who agrees to work as a nanny to the daughter of his famous best friend. Hoping to revive his career, he tackles the challenges of dealing with a young child with a dose of humor. With past experience as a DJ IRL, Elba has definitely brought a realistic twist to his character Charlie, and the Turn Up Charlie soundtrack is proof that his alter ego can make a mean mix.
Elba, who also co-created Turn Up Charlie, started working as a DJ as early as his teenage years. In the past, the actor has released his own EPs and controlled the music at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding reception. He’s even slated to DJ at Coachella this year, and that initial announcement highly confused plenty of fans who didn’t realize that Elba had a musical side.
