He moved to New York in his late teens. He became famous in the early 2010s for his YouTube comedy work as Filthy Frank (with characters including Pink Guy) - the Filthy Frank video Harlem Shake (2013) is widely credited with launching the Harlem Shake viral phenomenon. He retired the Filthy Frank channel in 2017 to focus on the Joji music project, signing with 88rising (the Asian-American hip hop and R\u0026amp;B label home to Rich Brian, Niki, and others). His debut Ballads 1 (2018) became the first album by an Asian-born solo artist to top the Billboard R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoji's sound combines alternative R\u0026amp;B, indie pop, lo-fi indie, bedroom pop, and contemporary R\u0026amp;B with his distinctive intimate vocal delivery and lo-fi to mid-fi production aesthetics drawing on contemporary R\u0026amp;B and indie pop reference points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Tongues EP (2017, 88rising)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBallads 1 (2018, 88rising) - Billboard R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop chart #1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNectar (2020, 88rising)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmithereens (2022, 88rising)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e88rising pressings of the Joji catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Joji typically start with Nectar (2020) or Ballads 1 (2018). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rnb-soul-vinyl-records\"\u003eR\u0026amp;B And Soul\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"joji-piss-in-the-wind-cd","title":"Piss in the Wind CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoji returns with the long-awaited 4th studio album via Palace Creek.
