About

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, comedian, 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.

George Kusunoki Miller (ジョージ・楠木・ミラー), né le 18 septembre 1992 à Osaka (Japon), connu sous le nom de scène Joji et anciennement par les pseudonymes Filthy Frank et Pink Guy, est un chanteur, auteur-compositeur, musicien et ancien vidéaste nippo-australien.

Durant sa période d'activité sur YouTube entre 2008 et 2017, il produit principalement du contenu humoristique de type absurde. Il poste également de la musique et des vidéos critiques. Une de ses vidéos a été à l'origine du mème Harlem Shake. L'une de ses mixtapes en tant que son personnage Pink Guy, Pink Season, a atteint la 70e place du Billboard 200 et la 1re place sur iTunes.

Fin 2017, Miller se retire de sa chaîne YouTube pour se concentrer sur sa carrière musicale, sous le nom de Joji, produisant une musique plus nuancée et plus sérieuse, sortant l'EP In Tongues, qui a atteint la 58e place du Billboard 200, puis son premier album studio Ballads 1, qui atteint la première place sur le top R&B du Billboard et dans le hit-parade hip-hop en novembre 2018. La musique de Miller a été décrite comme un mélange de lo-fi, de R&B et de trip-hop.
