A few months ago, US-based Japanese singer-songwriter Joji announced his ‘Pandemonium’ world tour. The artist listed Hong Kong in the Asia leg of the tour. However now, Joji has announced that he will be cancelling the remainder of his PANDEMONIUM concerts set for Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Hong Kong due to health reasons.
He kicked off a series of concerts in Europe and the US before heading to Australia. He was supposed to wrap up his Asia tour on December 3 in Hong Kong.

From internet personality to certified musician
Joji, whose real name is George Kusunoki Miller, is a master when it comes to mixing his musical style. It’s a blend of trip-hop and lo-fi with elements of electronic, folk, R&B, and trap. It’s no surprise that the singer-songwriter has amassed a global following.
At 18, Joji left Japan and moved to the US. Shortly after, he created The Filthy Frank Show on YouTube and received recognition for his talent and humour. In 2017, he pursued music full-time using his current moniker under the label 88rising.
He released his first EP ‘In Tongues’ the same year followed by an album ‘Ballads 1’ in 2018. His sophomore album ‘Nectar’ was released in 2020. His highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is the track, ‘Glimpse of Us’ which was part of his third album, ‘Smithereens’.
