Elvis' granddaughter, Riley Keough, shows her musical talent in 'Daisy Jones and The Six'

In early 2023, we were saddened by the death of Lisa Marie Presley. Although (or because of) being incredibly famous, the Presley family has lived through many tragedies and has often been the target of the press. However, one member of the clan has remained mostly unknown to the public. She is now taking the spotlight: Lisa Marie's eldest daughter, Riley Keough.

Unfortunately, the actress is not only dealing with the death of her mother, but she's also in the middle of a legal battle with her grandmother, Priscilla, who wants a percentage of everything Lisa Marie left to Riley (including Graceland, Elvis' Mansion in Memphis, and more).

But putting all of the family drama aside, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley has drawn a lot of attention for her own merits. She stars in one of the most famous Amazon Prime Video series of 2023: 'Daisy Jones and The Six,' where she sings and performs as beautifully as her granddad... Let's find out more about Riley Keough!

Riley Keough was born on May 29, 1989. She is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough. As a child, she experienced a lot of change as her mother divorced her father when she was just five years old. She then had to live through three more of her mother's marriages - with Michael Jackson, Nicolas Cage, and musician Michael Lockwood.

In her teenage years, Riley Keough began a career as a model. She got to walk the runway in famous shows like Dolce & Gabanna or Christian Dior and even made the cover of Vogue US in 2004.

Later in life, Riley Keough would get to discover one of her true passions: acting. At 20 years old, Keough starred in her first movie, 'The Runaways' (2010) which, coincidentally, was about a female rock band. In 2011, she played a supporting role in the movie 'The Good Doctor' alongside Orlando Bloom.

After appearing in famous movies like 'Magic Mike' and 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' Keough had an acting breakthrough thanks to the TV show 'The Girlfriend Experience' (2016). The series was based on Steven Soderberg's movie of the same name. Riley Keough was praised by critics and even received a Golden Globe nomination.

Since then, she has continued to work in films like 'American Honey' (2016) opposite Shia LaBeouf, 'The House that Jack Built' (2018) starring Matt Dillon and Uma Thurman, 'The Lodge' (2019) where she played the leading role, and also the Netflix movie 'The Devil at All Times' (2019).

In 2022, the actress was part of the main cast of the Amazon Prime Video show 'The Terminal List,' also starring Chris Pratt. And this would only be the beginning of her collaboration with the platform...

In March 2023, Keough starred in Prime Video's highly anticipated series adaptation of the book 'Daisy Jones and The Six.' The novel was written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, the author of the bestselling book 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.'

The Oscar-winning actress was so in love with the book that she decided to bring the novel to the screen with her production company, Hello Sunshine.

The series tells the story of the success and downfall of an American rock band during the 70s in Los Angeles. It focuses on the relationships that emerge from the band and the struggles that the members of 'Daisy Jones and The Six' go through as their fame grows.

The cast of the series was a mix between new faces and fan favorites. And what's more, the cast members of 'Daisy Jones and The Six' would become more than just a series ensemble... They will be a real band!

One year before starting shooting for the show, the cast had to learn how to play the instruments their characters master in the fiction. But not only that, the songs that the band composes and performs in the series are original tracks created by some of the most famous producers and musicians in the industry.

The album of the "fictional" band, titled 'Aurora', was released after the series and is killing it on Spotify. The fans are so in love with the album and the songs that Prime Video is toying with the idea of taking the cast on a small tour to perform as a real band.

In any case, the actor and actresses have confirmed that they would be happy to reunite as a band and play live for the fans. But who are the members of 'Daisy Jones and The Six'?

Although born into a privileged family, the character Daisy has to take care of herself and fight for her dream of becoming a rock star. Writing and singing in front of the crowd with 'The Six' is e a dream come true, but excesses and her love for Billy Dunne bring Daisy to a downfall.

Many could have expected that, as the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, the actress would have experience with music, but that's not Riley Keough's case. Before her role as Daisy Jones, the actress had never even tried to sing. It was thanks to the series that Keough discovered she had an amazing voice and talent to perform.

He is the band's heart and soul and the lead singer. Billy was the one to write every song of 'The Six' until Daisy Jones came and changed everything. After struggling with alcohol and substance abuse, he strictly focused on his wife Camila, his family, and the band.

From 2019 to 2022, the actor returned to the small screen to play one of the main roles in the series 'Peaky Blinders'.

'Daisy Jones and The Six' is Will Harrison's acting breakthrough. Although he has worked in short films here and there since 2015 and starred in one episode of the show 'Madame Secretary' and the movie 'This is a Film about My Mother' (2022), the actor's career looks more promising after his role as Graham Dunne.

Karen, who is a talented keyboardist, is determined to become a rock star, and 'The Six' is the perfect band for it. Although she is never going to let romance or family get in the way of her dream as a musician, she struggles to deal with her feelings for Graham Dunne.
