Solo artist Osaka United States Japanese‐Australian singer‐songwriter, rapper

The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Glimpse of Us”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #10. The station that charted Joji most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 4 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2022.
Joji, who hails from Osaka and was born in 1992, makes the kind of hushed, bruised bedroom R&B that seems to be sung at three in the morning to nobody in particular, and on 88rising he has turned that mood into a career. Nectar, out in 2020, was the moment it widened out: "Gimme Love", "Run" and "Your Man" drift between trip-hop murk, lo-fi crackle and alternative R&B, with an alternative rock streak that let rock radio claim him too.
Then came SMITHEREENS in 2022 and "Glimpse of Us", the song that pulled him closest to the top of the countdowns here. The genre tags attached to his name also include satire, surreal humour and comedy hip-hop, a reminder that the man crooning these sad songs has a much stranger, funnier side on file.
