Career

The channel quickly became a viral sensation, introducing characters like Pink Guy and contributing to internet culture moments such as the Harlem Shake trend.
In 2017, he stepped away from his comedy persona to fully pursue music as Joji, marking a major shift in his career. He released his debut EP In Tongues the same year, followed by his first studio album, Ballads 1 (2018), which featured the breakout track “Slow Dancing in the Dark” and achieved major commercial success.
He continued to build his music career with Nectar (2020), home to the global hit “Glimpse of Us,” and later with Smithereens (2022). His sound is known for its emotional depth, focusing on heartbreak, isolation, and introspection, delivered through atmospheric and minimalist production.
Joji has toured internationally and worked with notable producers and artists, helping solidify his place as one of the most successful examples of a creator transitioning from internet comedy to mainstream music.
