Open Space: Joji | Mass Appeal

Joji is the music alias of George Miller, aka comedian Filthy Frank aka the Pink Guy. Perhaps you remember him as human meme who went viral for dancing/seizuring to "Harlem Shake" in 2013?
It seemed to many that Miller didn't know such a dance already existed, or was making fun of it. He maintains what he did had nothing to do with the original Harlem Shake.
In any case, Miller has lived lifetimes on the internet since then. Music is not new to him, but he's finding success with his Joji persona, focused on depressed, turned-on pop/rap. He's not putting comedy on the back burner, just a different burner.
Joji's 'In Tongues' EP just dropped on 88 Rising, the "Asian as fuck" media group also involved with Rich Chigga and rising producer and vocalist Yaeji. The 88 team is definitely flexing at the moment, with Yaeji and Joji both hitting and an Asian tour coming up.
In his Open Space for MASS APPEAL, Joji touches on influences (like Shlomo and 'Family Guy'), the "Harlem Shake" debacle, and challenging his body on the "Will He" video shoot. "I said, 'Let me be in the bathtub full of blood, Eminem style,'" he recalls. "I actually peed in the tub. I couldn't get out because I would track blood through the whole studio. I was in there for, like, seven takes."

Pretty cool interview. I just wish not *every* single Joji interview kept asking about the Harlem Shake, it's such an old thing, and there's not even much to say, he already talked about it a lot anyway. I can understand asking about Pink Guy and Filthy Frank, because they're still going, but the Harlem Shake thing was just one random video, but it seems like all these media outlets ask him about it. I would really to see some interview focusing more on his music and all, you know. That said though, still a cool video.

[@MinimiMax]

I'm really confused. I keep seeing people saying he looks depressed and he looks sick and all that shit. What are you talking about? He looks depressed based on what? Because he's serious and calm and not doing some Filthy Frank type of character stuff? How well do you know him in real life? Oh, you don't? Well then how do you know what he acts like in his normal everyday life? This is pretty much equal to assuming that someone who's quiet is sad or that someone who doesn't have a girlfriend is gay. Chill the fuck out. Are you even seeing the same person I am? Because to me it looks like he's smiling a lot and enjoying himself.

[@flame1526]

I mean you can notice he had Radiohead influence especially in the song dancing in the dark. Its most likely inspired by Radioheads song Creep. Both songs are like a letter to a girl where he admits something to her, also the intro is really similar. I remember after listening to the song a couple of times I thought I heard this somewhere else, then later I figured out where its familiar. But yea I have mad respect for Joji especially since he turned him self from a youtuber to a musician which is hard. Joji if you see this, keep it up with the music!
