Welcome back to Parsons Playlists<\/a>! Today we\u2019re featuring a playlist of music by Japanese R&B\/hip-hop artist Joji<\/a>, curated by Music Library student manager Brianna (class of 2024).<\/em><\/p>\n

George Kusunoki Miller, who goes by the musical pseudonym Joji<\/a>, is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and comedian. He began his career in entertainment on YouTube, releasing comedic rap songs under the name \u201cPink Guy\u201d, and various other videos where he would often star in multiple roles. In 2015, he retired from his YouTube career and began making the music he had always wanted, now going by Joji. When asked how this was different from his previous musical career as Pink Guy, he said \u201cI guess that\u2019s the difference, Joji\u2019s just me.\u201d His debut album Ballads I<\/a><\/em> made him the first Asain-born artist to reach #1 on Billboard\u2019s R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums chart in 2018. His most recent release from 2020, titled Nectar<\/a><\/em>, reached a peak of #3 on US Billboard 200. Here is a compilation of my favorite songs from Joji.<\/p>\n
