Joji is the stage name of Japanese singer George Kusunoki Miller, who was born in Osaka on September 18, 1992. He launched his career as an internet personality, uploaded a mix of comedy routines, rap songs, and other musical performances to various video-sharing websites under the alias "Filthy Frank." He also adopted another moniker, Pink Guy, and released a self-titled debut album under that name in 2014. Another Pink Guy record, Pink Season, was released in 2017 and climbed to Number 1 on the Top Comedy Albums chart in America. With Pink Guy still serving as his stage name for comedy hip-hop music, George Kusunoki Miller also began releasing R&B music under the moniker Joji. He made his debut as Joji with 2017's In Tongues, an EP that was released in both standard and deluxe versions. A Number 28 hit on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, In Tongues also charted at Number 58 on the Billboard 200 and Number 38 in New Zealand. A full-length Joji album, Ballads 1, followed in October 2018 and fared even better, debuting at Number 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and Number 3 on the Billboard 200. The record later went platinum in the US, as did its biggest-selling single, "Yeah Right." Two years later, Joji released a second full-length album, Nectar, which cracked the Top 10 in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, Norway, and Zealand. Nectar was soon certified gold in the US.
