BIO

Frank Ocean is one of the most enigmatic and beloved singer/songwriters today. Born in Long Beach, California but raised in New Orleans, he was born Christopher Edwin Breaux. He first gained prominence as a songwriter for the likes of Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and Brandy before gaining solo success with his 2011 debut mixtape nostalgia, ULTRA. Around this time, he was part of Odd Future alongside Tyler, The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and others. In 2012, Frank released his debut studio album Channel Orange, to rave reviews and multiple awards.
