Encyclopedic overview

George Kusunoki Miller (ジョージ・楠木・ミラー, Jōji Kusunoki Mirā), known professionally as Joji and formerly as Filthy Frank and Pink Guy, 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 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". 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.
