Background
At the end of 2015, the songs “Thom” and “you suck charlie” leaked to the Internet and prompted Miller to publicly annoy his Instagram post in January 2016. Miller mentioned that the purpose of the “unknown account” that contained these songs was to be enjoyed by his friends. It was intended to keep music secret from fans, as they mainly focused on his comedic music. However, when the account in question was discovered and her music was uploaded to platforms such as YouTube , he felt that he was not in control of his “own image” and decided to continue his musical career under his original stage name. In addition, he provided a link to his Joji account in Soundcloud and also announced that he will release a full-scale commercial project called Chloe Burbank: Volume 1 with “Thom” and “you suck charlie” [4] , acting as singles. After that, he began uploading more songs to his SoundCloud. [five]
After releasing his Pink Season mixtape under the pseudonym Pink Guy, which debuted on the iTunes global table and the Billboard 200 hit chart at 70th. [6] [7] He also spoke in an interview with Pigeons and Planes about the reason he continued to use different pseudonyms, saying: “I did music before Filthy Frank, I always wanted to make normal music. And just used his YouTube channel to promote my music. But then the material on Filthy Frank and Pink Guy turned out to be much more than I thought, so I had to work on it. "" [6]
In December 2016 and January 2017, songs under the pseudonym Joji began to be uploaded to 88rising , indicating a partnership between Miller and 88rising in future projects. In mid-2017, Joji released “i dont wanna waste my time” and “rain on me” on SoundCloud and 88rising.
