Bio:
George Kusunoki Miller, better known as Joji, was born in Osaka, Japan, to a Japanese mother and Australian father. He kicked off his wild ride as the chaotic YouTube comedian Filthy Frank in the early 2010s, but by 2017, he shed that skin for something deeper, signing with 88rising to drop moody tracks like "Will He" and his debut EP In Tongues. His sound pulls from lo-fi's chill haze and R&B's raw ache, painting pictures of lost love and quiet regrets. Albums like Ballads 1 in 2018 brought hits such as "Slow Dancing in the Dark," a gut-punch on loneliness that hit the Billboard Hot 100, while Nectar in 2020 and Smithereens in 2022 dug even deeper into heartbreak. Fast-forward to 2025, and after a three-year break, he returned with "Pixelated Kisses" under Virgin Music, a glitchy nod to digital-age longing that fans say feels like scrolling through old texts at 3 a.m. Joji's Japanese-Australian roots shine through in his subtle nods to Tokyo's neon isolation, turning personal pain into universal anthems that make you feel seen in the dark.
