        Christopher Edwin Breaux, professionally known as Frank Ocean, is a singer and songwriter. Frank Ocean has had a very successful career since he released his first ever major project, a mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra which included songs “Novacane” and “Swim Good.” Frank Ocean continued his career by released singles and his first album “Channel Orange” and “Blond.” With millions of supporters and streams, Frank Ocean had built a firm career and become a music and artistic sensation.

       Frank Ocean’s streams are rising tremendously every day, and he continues to gain fans and supporters. Even though his last album “Blond”, was released in 2016, and his last single “Cayendo (Side-A Acoustic)” was released in April of 2020. Frank Ocean hasn’t been active in working on or releasing music for awhile. And now, the wait will be even longer.

        On August 2, 2020, Ryan Moore, also known as Ryan Breaux, passed away in a car accident. Ryan was the younger brother of Frank Ocean. Frank Ocean and his brother were the best of friends, and extremely close. Frank Ocean loved his brother more than anything, and he is taking a break from his career to support his family, and to collect himself mentally. No sources have announced how long this leave will last, but Frank Ocean’s life and health is so much more important than focusing on his career. His supporters are being very supportive as he is mourning the loss of his brother, and for now, we are all enjoying he music that we already have.
