Who is Papa Franku? organic
Papa Franku, also known as Pink Guy, Joji, Filthy Frank is a Japanese-Australian record producer, singer, songwriter and former YouTube personality. Born George Miller on September 18, 1992 in Osaka, Japan, he attended the Canadian Academy and is believed to have graduated in 2012. He is a very private person, so there is very little information about his personal life.
YouTube Career
Papa Franku is affectionately and popularly referred to as the father of alt comedy on YouTube. He created a YouTube channel called Dizasta Music. This channel was created with the sole purpose of promoting his music career. The channel rose in popularity when it spawned the character FilthyFrank, who is considered YouTube’s anti-vlogger.
The character is someone who is an incarnation of everything a person should not be. He is anti-social, has a very twisted sense of humour, uses offensive language, is very provocative and is always fond of joking about sensitive subjects that many ban, but surprisingly that is what the majority of his fans love about him. He criticizes the grievances in society and shows the negativity of racism and injustice towards women.
The channel also features videos that contain alcohol, drunk filming, dangerous activities like drawing blood, and disgusting things like cake made with ingredients that should never be used. In his channel, viewers most often feel uncomfortable because of the offensive words he likes to use with a lot of dark humor. However, Papa Franku managed to prove to the world that anyone with innovative ideas and a good flair for creativity can gain popularity and make money on the internet.
He posted his first video titled “Lil Jon Fallsoff the table” on YouTube on June 19, 2008. At one point he had problems with his videos because they always violated copyrights. He uploaded a video explaining to his fans and viewers that he was on the verge of losing the channel and why he was closing the channel.
Finally he closed his Dizasta Music YouTubeChannel in 2014 and opened another channel for him called “Tv FilthyFrank” in others not to lose his fans. He later opened a third channel titled Too Damn Filthy on July 1, 2014. This particular channel had two series: “Japanese 101” and “Cringe of the week”. It also grew in popularity, and as of August 2017 it had 1.8 million subscribers and 170 million views.
In one of his videos, he made it known to his fans and viewers that he had a brain condition that sometimes caused him to have seizures, but some fans insinuated that he publicized his condition as a way to gain more popularity. Today, Papa Franku is one of the 500 most popular people on the social platform with around 5.1 million subscribers.
As Pink Guy, he produced weird comedy music that’s supposed to be depressive. Most of the music he records is about insults, abuse and rape of other people. He was the one who invented the crazy dance called “Harlem Shake”. Franku is a member of a group called the “Tempura Boyz” and was also part of the group “Shrimpson Boys” with Max Stanley. In 2017, he released songs, some of which have collaborated with other musicians, and he was also featured by a Chinese rap group called “Higher Brothers”.
As Joji, he has more sensational, serious and traditional music. His music is a mix of R&B and trip-hop, like the music titled “In Tongues,” which peaked at #58 on the Billboard 200.
Where is papa Franku now?
Papa Franku has decided to close his YouTube channel and stop producing comedy. In his statement published on December 29, 2017 via Twitter, he reasoned that he will no longer be producing comedy and has quit the characters FilthyFrank and Pink because he has lost interest in the series and is also taking care of his health.
He is currently focused on his music career as Joji and does not wish to be associated with the character “Filthy Frank” or “Papa Franku”. He says that “Joji” and “Filthy Frank” or “Papa Franku” are two different creatures and gets annoyed when people call him the latter and forget that it’s just a fictional character. Some fans wrote that he even blocks someone on Instagram or other social media who refer to him as Papa Franku or Filthy Frank.
