George "Joji" Miller, commonly known by his internet pseudonym Filthy Frank, is a Japanese-Australian musician and YouTube personality. His album Pink Season reached the top of the iTunes charts and reached No. 70 on the Billboard 200. He is best known for his absurdist YouTube channel, TVFilthyFrank, which features music, rants and a bizarre "show", with all of the main characters played by him. Additionally, Miller's video titled Do the Harlem Shake (Original), which originated as a clip on the video FILTHY COMPILATION #6 - SMELL MY FINGERS, has been viewed 57.2 million times (as of January 2017[update]) and spawned the Harlem Shake meme.
Miller was born to Australian and Japanese parents. He attended Canadian Academy, where he graduated from in 2012. Not much is known about his personal life, as he has always tried to keep it under wraps, such as in his video "FILTHY FRANK EXPOSES HIMSELF???" where he reveals that he's a college student in Brooklyn, New York and that he does not want to reveal personal information, for fear of not being able to get a job later on due to the nature of his show. Additionally, in the same video, he reveals his struggles with his health, such as his seizures caused by an illness of which he doesn't reveal.
Miller created the Filthy Frank character during his time on his DizastaMusic channel, where he created sketch comedy-based content, but the channel started gaining popularity once he conceptualised Frank, who is described as the anti-vlogger of YouTube. The first known video on this particular channel was uploaded on 5 August 2011, and was titled Filthy Shit.
On 15 August 2014, Miller uploaded a video to the DizastaMusic channel, announcing that he would not be posting any more video content onto the channel, under the risk of losing the channel due to the numerous copyright strikes it received.
In Miller's new channel, TVFilthyFrank, he posts new videos, usually only with himself, and occasionally iDubbbzTV, MaxMoeFoe, and Anything4Views. He has many different series on his channel, such as FOOD (和食ラップ), Japanese 101, and LOSER READS HATER COMMENTS. His newest content is known for being offensive to some, as he uses many racial slurs, crude language, and performing offensive actions. Regardless, he is in the top 500 youtubers, at #413, with a total of 4.25 million followers, as of February 9, 2017.
