FAQs
REAL
NAME: Christopher Edwin Breaux
TIMELINE
Frank Ocean was born
Christopher Edwin Breaux on Otober 28, 1987 in
California and raised in Louisiana. Ocean
relocated to Los Angeles after Hurricane Katrina
destroyed in recording space in 2005, Before
being known as a solo performer, Ocean was a
member of 'Odd Future' - a hip hop collective.
Ocean also wrote songs for several major artists
and signed with Def Jam Recordings in 2009. In
2010, Ocean changed his name to 'Christopher
Francis Ocean' and to just 'Frank Ocean' five
years later. In 2011, Ocean released the mixtap Nostalgia,
Ultra.
July 4: Prior to the release of
his debut LP, Ocean posted an open letter on his
blog commenting on his love for another man when
he was 19, and referencing it as his first true
love. The posting became news given the nature of
the post and limited same-sex references in the
hip-hop world that are not offensive. The
relationship was further noted in his song
"Thinkin Bout You." Russell Simmons
said of the posting: "I am profoundly moved
by the courage and honesty of Frank Ocean. Your
decision to go public about your sexual
orientation gives hope and light to so many young
people still living in fear."
July 28: Ocean topped the
Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for 1 week
with Channel
Orange.
February 10: Ocean won 2 Grammy Awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album (Channel
Orange)
and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("No Church In The
Wild" with Jay-Z and Kanye West), and was nominated for Album of the Year (Channel
Orange),
Record of the Year ("Thinkin Bout
You"), Best Music Video, Short
Form
("No Church In The Wild" with Jay-Z and Kanye West) and Best New Artist.
July 9: Ocean could be heard on
the Jay-Z LP Magna
Carta Holy Grail on the track
"Oceans."
March 18: Ocean hit the ARC Weekly Top 40 helping out Calvin Harris and Migos
with "Slide."
