He's Written Songs for Justin Bieber, John Legend, and Beyonceīefore making a name for himself, Ocean was a ghost writer for the likes of Justin Bieber, John Legend, and Brandy. So who is Frank Ocean and why should we care? At the top of the worldwide trends on Twitter at this moment? #ChannelOrange and #BadReligion. Today, Ocean's first album, Channel Orange, which features appearances by John Mayer and Outkast's Andre 3000, was released on iTunes a week ahead of schedule due to overwhelming demand. On Monday night, the 24-year-old made his TV debut when he performed his song 'Bad Religion' on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' with the Grammy-winning The Roots as his backing band. Although his brave act earned him praise from everyone from Beyonce to Russell Simmons, still many shrugged their shoulders. It began on July 4 when the relatively-unknown R&B singer let his own freedom ring by revealing his first love was a man in a post on his Tumblr blog. For the past week, it seems like Frank Ocean has been everywhere - but many people aren't sure why or even have a clue who he is ('Is he related to Billy Ocean?').
