    George Kusunoki Miller (ジョージ・楠木・ミラー, Jōji Kusunoki Mirā, born 18 September 1992), known professionally as Joji and formerly as Filthy Frank and Pink Guy, is a Japanese singer-songwriter, rapper, comedian, and former TH-camr. Miller's music has been described as a mix between R&B, lo-fi, and trip hop.
    Miller began his TH-cam career in 2011 shortly after moving to the United States, gaining recognition for portraying oddball characters on the comedy channels TVFilthyFrank, TooDamnFilthy, and DizastaMusic. The channels, which featured comedy hip hop, rants, extreme challenges, and ukulele and dance performances, are noted for their shock humor and prolific virality. Miller's videos helped popularize the Harlem Shake, that contributed to the commercial success of Baauer's song of the same name which led to the production of memes and collaborations with TH-camrs. As Pink Guy, Miller released two comedy studio albums and an extended play between 2014 and 2017.
    In late 2017, Miller retired as a TH-camr to pursue a music career under the name Joji. His debut album, Ballads 1, was released in 2018 and featured the single "Slow Dancing in the Dark". His second album, Nectar (2020), contained the singles "Sanctuary" and "Run". In 2022, he released the US Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single "Glimpse of Us", his highest-charting song, then going on to be featured on his third album, Smithereens (2022).
    On 9 June 2022, Joji released a new single titled "Glimpse of Us", which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. On 26 August, he released a second single called Yukon (Interlude). On 4 November, Joji released his album Smithereens, alongside the single Die For You. To promote the album, Joji has been touring in North America since September 2022.

    I think his pre-existing fanbase really helped his success. So many young kids grew up on FilthyFrank, and then as they got older he went onto become Joji and that emotional maturity was exactly what they needed, so they stuck with it. They say the funniest ones are often the saddest deep down, after all.

    I've been listening to joji for almost 5 years now and i can say that he never disappoint.
    Also i think Smithereens is some kind of a call back to his older songs. You can see that in pink season or Chloe burbank, they have this weird raw production that feels very underground and i think that's the reason why smithereens sounds so unique
    I also love that he start goofing around again in concerts. I think it's because he finnaly confident enough about the way people see him as a musician instead of just funny youtuber.
    So no matter how silly he goes in concert, people still see him as joji (even tho ofc a lot of people say frank start taking control 😭)

    • @pixelscape8571

My brother and I used to always say how amazing he was with his pink guy music and once he announced he was leaving to further his actual music career I was so incredibly happy for him. Watching him blossom from an insane pushing boundaries TH-camr to the iconic musician he's become now almost feels like watching your child accomplish their dreams lolol no joke. God I love him so much lol 💜💜

    Joji became my top Spotify artist, even though I listened to only 3 of his songs. Hours upon hours of listening. I was scared to venture to his other songs, as usually when I find a song I really like, the artists other songs are pure crap compared to it. But Joji was different, I started listening to his other stuff, and fell. In. Love. His style is not usually what I would listen to, but it’s so beautifully crafted, that he is literally my favorite artist. What a talented guy.

    Mannnn it nearly brings a tear to my eye to see where he is now from the Dizasta music days to now I'm glad he still has all his old vids up because you can see his growth

    I got to go to one of his concerts last year, and it was one of the best ones I have ever been too. Not only was he an amazing performer, the concert was funny as hell too. Unforgetable

    Thanks Phillip, this was a great look at a great musician/artist. I have been a late adopter of joji music and have been blown away at how haunting and beautiful his music is. I was so excited to get nectar when it came out and my joji spoon lol

  • @jonahshill7084

    Great video production as usual! Think it would be interesting to compare the development of Joji and Tyler The Creator, as they both started off with a shock content being the main stay of their careers and have shown huge technical and creative development. Especially looking at their approaches to that growth. Tyler seems to have kept a lot of his original fandom even if they don’t connect as much with his current style, whereas it looks like Joji intentionally tried to distance himself from his previous work, and by extension, his previous audience. In terms of similarity, it looks like they are both trying to create music that has a lasting quality rather than feeding into immediate trends. Whether this is a reflection of them intentionally trying to push their previous work further into the background or not I can’t say. But I think your breakdown would be interesting
