George "Joji" Miller, known online by his pseudonym Filthy Frank, is a Japanese-Australian YouTube personality, known for his music and comedy videos. 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, ukulele performances 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 58.1 million times (as of July 2017[update]) and led to the creation of the Harlem Shake meme, which was directly responsible for the debut of the song "Harlem Shake" (by producer Baauer) at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Miller attended Canadian Academy, where he graduated in 2012. Not much is known about his personal life, as he attempts to maintain his privacy, 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 19 June 2008, and was titled "Lil Jon falls off a table". The DizastaMusic channel has over 800,000 subscribers and is nearing 170 million views as of August 2017[update].
