About Joji (musician)

George Kusunoki Miller (ジョージ・楠木・ミラー, Jōji Kusunoki Mirā), known professionally as Joji, is a Japanese-Australian singer, songwriter, rapper, and internet personality. His music has been described as a mix between R&B, lo-fi, and trip-hop. Miller also created The Filthy Frank Show on YouTube in 2011, a comedy web-series while he was still living in Japan, playing the oddball characters Filthy Frank and Pink Guy. Miller uploaded videos on the channels "TVFilthyFrank", "TooDamnFilthy", and "DizastaMusic". He began producing Filthy Frank videos in 2012, during his college enrollment in the United States. The channels, which featured comedy hip hop, rants, extreme challenges, and ukulele and dance performances, were noted for their shock humor and prolific virality. Miller popularised the Harlem Shake, an Internet meme that contributed to the commercial success of Baauer's song "Harlem Shake" and led him to further prominence on YouTube. As Pink Guy, he released two comedy studio albums, Pink Guy and Pink Season, as well as an extended play, between 2014 and 2017. In late 2017, Miller ended The Filthy Frank Show to pursue a music career under the name "Joji", the Japanese version of his first name. He signed with 88Rising and 12Tone Music Group to release his first two studio albums, Ballads 1 (2018) and Nectar (2020), both of which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and spawned the singles "Slow Dancing in the Dark" and "Sanctuary". Both songs entered the Billboard Hot 100 and ARIA Charts, while his 2022 single, "Glimpse of Us", peaked at number eight on the former and atop the latter, became his highest-charting song, and preceded his third album Smithereens (2022). His fourth album, Piss in the Wind, was released on 6 February 2026. Miller created The Filthy Frank Show on YouTube in 2011 while he was still living in Japan, gaining recognition for playing oddball characters on the comedy channels "TVFilthyFrank", "TooDamnFilthy", and "DizastaMusic". On 23 September 2006, Miller created his first YouTube channel, "2cool4u92".
