To join Dark Brotherhood, make your way to the Aretino Residence in Windhelm. There, you will see a boy named Aventus Aretino who is trying to do a ritual. He will give you a quest called "Innocence Lost" which will lead you to kill Grelond the Kind.
After doing this and finishing the quest, thus starting the Dark Brotherhood questline, you will either have to wait 24 hours or so for a courier, which will hand you a letter with a black hand print and the words "we know" on it, or sleep in an owned bed to get kidnapped.
Here is the crucial point, when you are kidnapped by Astrid, this gives you the quest "With Friends Like These..." where she wants you to kill a captive.
Make sure you agree to do this and kill the captive or all three if you want and do not, I repeat, do NOT attack Astrid. Attacking her will give you the quest "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood" and thus voiding the achievements related to this quest line.
Once you kill the captives, Astrid will tell you to go to the black door that is in southern pine forest, there you will be asked by the door about the sound of music. Pick the first option "silence, my brother" and enter. Go talk to Astrid, the quest will finish and the achievement should pop there.
Hope this helps.

I got the note with the 'we know' but was never kidnapped. Also can't sleep in any owned beds?

I couldn’t sleep in any owned beds either, but I went to Riverdale and rented a room from the Inn and slept for 24 and woke up and started the quest automatically, hope that helps

The easiest way to go about this is to find Aventus Aretino in Windhelm. Continue to follow his directions then turn the quest back into him. After that, you will need to fall asleep (in a bed) and you will wake up in a shack then just continue with those quests until the achievement unlocks.
If sleeping right away doesn't work you may need to fast travel somewhere else like Whterun or Riverwood and sleep there

Go to Windhelm and look for the house of Aventus Aretino - to do this you will need to pick the lock of his house. You will be given a contract to kill Grelod the Good in Riften. After you report to Aretino, a messenger will find you on the street and hand over a leaflet with the inscription “We know.”
Feel free to go to bed - you will wake up in a solitary hut, where, regardless of your actions, you will be offered to join the Brotherhood. All that remains is to get to the Brotherhood headquarters in the southwest of Skyrim.

In Windhelm, look for the house of Aventus Aretino, go into it and witness the horror, then complete the next quest. In it you just need to enter and kill the designated victim, you don’t need to be afraid of pursuit or children, we kill in cold blood and leave the house.
When the quest is completed by Aretino, go to bed and find yourself in an interesting place. The head of the Dark Brotherhood will ask you to pay the debt by killing the one for whom the order was made. It doesn’t matter who you kill, you can choose any victim, including the Head of the Assassins’ Guild, in fact it will be the right choice, as she will say herself, but the achievement will be wasted.
When you find yourself in a family of the dark brotherhood, do not kill the spider in the pen, it is apparently their pet, do this and they will kill you on the spot.
